There is a way to create a flow that receive a text from the browser on my PC, and write that text in the Android keyboard?

I can't tell you whether this can be realized with Automagic - I am interested in the answer too.
But I know of an App that can do it:

What I do is:
I type on the computer, copy the text and send the clipboard to my phone. Does it work for you ?

Hi,
You could create a simple HTML form and serve it to your browser using trigger HTTP Request and action Write HTTP Response Text. Create a second flow with a similar trigger that handles the form action so you can accept the text submitted by your browser. You can then either use action Control UI to enter the text or use action Execute Root Command: input type {text_from_browser} to type it or use action Copy Text to Clipboard.
Alternatively there are some plugins available to make this work over the internet (for example Pushbullet and AutoRemote).
Regards,
Martin

I've tried once to use keyboard on computer and transfer the input to android using AutoHotKey and HTTP Request. It was not very pleasant to write with it. The letters appear with about one second delay and it was buggy. Sometimes letters got lost. Therefore I didn't publish it.
In order to transfer clipboard contents between android and computer, see here:
