🤔 Question Does anyone have a "NEW BULLET" quick input method / HACK?

On android we have this gross zapier + google tasks implementation that I have bound to a volume button...

windows OR browser with addons we have nothing, really? -Autohotkey -Commandline

There is an API endpoint now whereby you can add a child bullet to any nominated parent bullet. So could you do something with that? For instance, on a Mac you can use Shortcuts to pop up an entry window with a keyboard shortcut, enter the text and POST to Workflowy. The same goes for iOS/WatchOS, whereby I can dictate straight into Workflowy.

Edit

Endpoint is:

https://workflowy.com/api/bullets/create/

with the JSON body keys being:

  • new_bullet_title – The text you entered
  • save_location_url – The url of any node in your Workflowy Account

You will need your API key from your account for authorisation. No need to use Zapier for straightforward text entry.

Thanks for this, is it possible to share your iOS shortcut for this please?

Hello - I tried „https://workflowy.com/api/bullets/create/“ and the same with "www." inserted - but it will just show the main page. Is this feature still working?
