How to use "inbox" feature?

This post was last updated for 376 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.

      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

      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...

      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.
