As a lifetime user, how do I use the Inbox feature? The instructions in the user guide are very superficial. It only talks about API, where to find it, but it doesn't show how to use it. Thank you.
How to use "inbox" feature?

Okay, thanks for the feedback. But, would there be an application as an example, so that I can find a use for Cloud Inbox? For example, the Capacities app has connectivity with Telegram and WhatsApp. Would it be possible to use the SiYuan API to do the same?
Personally, I would really like it if it were possible to copy text excerpts and send them directly to Inbox, more or less like the Citanotes app does.1 Reply -

In China, an example has been developed to connect to WeChat, which allows you to send messages to SiYuan in the form of conversations.
I think Telegram and WhatsApp should be able to do something similar, but there is no doing yet.

I have the same question. Is there any news on using the inbox feature with e.g. WhatsApp or Telegram or email? Or did anyone set it up with other apps? It would be such a great feature to collect content, in particular on mobile (since no native sharing feature is available to date).

I noticed that a new “Telegram Inbox” plugin has been added to the marketplace, anyone interested can give it a try.

Sending to the SiYuan-Inbox is quiet easy from a small script. I have an example for ruby here...
You need to change "token xxx"
require 'net/http' require 'json' uri = URI('https://liuyun.io/apis/siyuan/inbox/addCloudShorthand') req = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri) req.body = JSON.dump({ title: Time.now.strftime('%Y-%m-%d'), content: 'Hello from Ruby' }) req['Content-Type'] = 'application/json' req['Authorization'] = 'token xxx' res = Net::HTTP.start(uri.hostname, uri.port, :use_ssl => true) do |http| http.request(req) end case res when Net::HTTPSuccess, Net::HTTPRedirection puts 'DONE' else puts 'FAILED' puts res.value end -

Based on iOS Share Sheet Shortcut I created another Shortcut to send Text (only) to the SiYuan Inbox. You need to edit the Shortcut and change "token xxx" to your Inbox-Token. This is just an example, as I am not very good with using Shortcuts. But it should get you started.

The https://liuyun.io/ endpoint does not seem to function on iOS. Is there a equivalent 127.0.0.1 endpoint for addCloudShorthand?

I think I had to allow Shortcuts to send to a website. However I get messages to the Inbox from the iPhone. Also note, that it only takes Text-Messages. Sharing other data will not work.
Did you change the token? It is silently failing for me with the wrong token.
The Shortcut is very limited. For debugging you could change the Shortcut to show the results. Which gives you an indication of what might be wrong. But this is my first Shortcut ever created, so no idea if something is wrong...

Love the software and the team works all the time but i really don´y understand the use of an inbox that doesn´t work.
I would love to highlight pdf in my Siyuan for ipad, could be a game changer and transform the app in a multiple tool for work.
Please more plugins in English, speccially for memos and pdf
Thanks a lot

In my opinion, the inbox API is used to forward some content when SiYuan is not enabled, and it can be seen when opened SiYuan in next time.
For users who always opened SiYuan, you can just use the local API.😳
