Threema support?

Post by AMChris » 01 Dec 2014 10:11

Hi

I use the feature to automagically send SMS quite often.
Now I wonder if I can do similar things with Threema?
( https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... hreema.app )

Ist there already a way to:
- send a message with Threema
- open a new message 'dialog' for a specific contact?

If yes, how can that be done?

If no, what would be necessary?
- is this something you could provide on your own (new feature request)
- or would it be necessary for the Threema developers to provide a plugin?

Thanks
Chris

Hi,

It seems that Threema does not offer an API which can be used by other apps like Automagic to directly send messages so Threema would probably have to provide a plugin on their own.

I'm not a user of Threema myself so I've not used the app before but you could probably use trigger Notification on Statusbar Displayed to react to incoming Threema messages and use action Control UI to automate the process of sending messages. Action Control UI only works when the screen is turned on and the lock screen is not shown so it might not be a working solution.

The FAQ contains some hints that Threema supports URL actions: https://threema.ch/en/faq in section Which URL actions are supported?
You could probably use an action Start Activity and paste an URL like threema://compose?text=Hello into field Data URI (untested). You would still have to use Control UI to press the send button.

Regards,
Martin
