iOS custom URL scheme and support
yolk
I'd like to use DraftsApp (or other deeplink crafting) to add tasks, notes & ambiguous markdown to taskade. This is definitely a power user feature so I'd be okay with using long
node_ids
and a number of required querystring parametersRight now I'm aware
taskade://
will open the app on iOS, iPad. My request is to include documentation on this for power users (with warning its likely to change if it's not a finalized or public API) for taskade://paths...
and/or taskade://...?args...
I could include in a querystring to construct a URI that would then add what I passed to it into taskade they be documented.If it doesn't exist beyond
taskade://
being registered (to just open the app). Some thoughts I have which would be nifty are:create
a project providing markdown in a querystring paramater as a blob (no limit to how much text a querystring can contain)taskade://new?markdown=...
or with a specific
title
taskade://new?title=My%20Project&markdown=...
or with
tasks/bullets/paragraphs
taskade://new?title=My%20Project&tasks=One%0ATwo%0AThird%20Task&bullets=One%0ATwo%0AThree¶graphs=%0A%0AParagraph%20with%20two%20new%20lines%20above%20and%20below%0A%0A
add
task/bullets/paragraph/markdown as a child to a specific node_id
with an optional querystring paramter to indicate whether it should be top
or bottom
(defaults to bottom
if not present)taskade://add/<node_id>?top&tasks=One%0ATwo%0AThird%20Task&bullets=One%0ATwo%0AThree¶graphs=%0A%0AParagraph%20with%20two%20new%20lines%20above%20and%20below%0A%0A
add
task/bullets/paragraph/markdown as a sibling(s) to a specific node_id
, with an optional querystring parameter to indicate whether it should be above
or below
taskade://add/sibling/<node_id>?above&tasks=One%0ATwo%0AThird%20Task&bullets=One%0ATwo%0AThree¶graphs=%0A%0AParagraph%20with%20two%20new%20lines%20above%20and%20below%0A%0A
Adding things is sufficient enough for me, while I'm assuming if I provide a specific
node_id
I don't need to say which project/block_title
it's under.Log In

Here is what works today in the mobile apps. taskade://add?content=Your%20text opens Quick Add with your text filled in, and you pick the project there. taskade://d/PROJECT_ID opens a project. These links are not a formal public API yet, so they can change, and there are no parameters for a parent node or position.
To add straight into a project from Drafts, a Taskade automation with the Webhook Received trigger (Pro and up) can take a web request and run "Add a task". The full scheme is still open, and votes help us prioritize.

Thanks for this detailed breakdown — deep linking from DraftsApp and similar tools is a great power-user use case. While we don't have a documented public URL scheme spec today, our Public API (launched in v6.110) provides structured access to create and update projects and tasks programmatically, which covers a number of the workflows you described (creating projects from markdown, appending to nodes, etc.).
We'd love to hear more about your DraftsApp workflows on the community forum — it helps us prioritize deep-link and URL scheme support: https://taskade.com/community

Hi cybersoulja, thanks for the vote. As the update above says, taskade://add?content=Your%20text opens Quick Add in the mobile apps today. A full documented URL scheme is not built yet, and your vote counts. Tell us which app you want to call Taskade from, as it helps us scope it.

mirda
url scheme, yes please 🙏

John at Taskade
Hi mirda, thank you for the vote. A full URL scheme is not built yet, and your vote counts. Today, taskade://d/ followed by a project ID opens that project in the mobile apps, and taskade://add opens Quick Add. Tell us what you want to automate, so we can weigh it.
