How to use "inbox" feature?

This post was last updated for 502 days ago, and the information may already be changed

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.

      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).

      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.

      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.😳
