I’d like my Index to be a very straightforward device – click to record text, send that raw text directly to Tasker, without any of the processing to identify whether it’s a note or a reminder or anything or any resulting side effects. Just raw text that always goes to the same place unedited. But as far as I can tell, this is currently impossible, and some level of processing always occurs; can we have the ability to bypass this?
This is possible with the webhook feature. Was it not working for you? If it’s not, can you give some examples of cases where it’s not working?
I didn’t know about Tasker’s HTTP server, so I spent some time and was able to get that working.
The problem is that the webhook exists in addition to the normal processing, rather than in place of it. So either I’m going to be creating a lot of duplicate reminders and notes inside the built-in app storage, or I have to shunt everything to Tasker for it to ignore and discard (but then I run into the issue from my other post, where this forces the Tasker app to open in the foreground). My ideal solution under this setup is to only do the webhook functionality, and nothing else.
Next version supports sending only to webhook
Things are mostly working well with the new app update. Just two small things that would make it ideal:
- When I make a recording configured for Webhook only, the corresponding item in the Index feed in the app only says “Index recording”; for history auditing it would be nice if this would still display the transcription.
- When I make a recording configured for webhook only, no notification is delivered, which was handy for verifying the recording had gone through (though I can workaround this one by firing a notification in Tasker)
