I have been using popclip and dynalist for years and have been struggling to send letters from popclip to dynalist but it doesn’t work. Can anyone help me with this?
You said you have been trying to make an extension, perhaps you could share what you have tried already and I could help. I’ll leave a few notes here and see if I can take a proper look later.
Notes
-
Dynalist: https://dynalist.io/. It looks like dynalist is a web app only, with no Mac app.
-
Extension could most likely use their API to add stuff to dynalist.
-
There seems to be a Send to Inbox https://apidocs.dynalist.io/#send-to-inbox function in the API whih looks promising.
Thanks for the reply.
I am trying to implement it using the api functionality as you mentioned but it doesn’t work.
I can install it, but I can’t get the icon to work. When I tap on the icon, the faction mark pops up.
// #popclip
// name: Add to Dynalist Inbox
// icon: bundle:inbox
// language: javascript
const API_KEY = "yourapikey"; // Enter your Dynalist API key here
const API_URL = "https://dynalist.io/api/v1/inbox/add"; // URL of Dynalist API
// Get PopClip input text
const selectedText = popclip.input.text;
// Prepare data to send to API
const data = {
"token": API_KEY,
"content": selectedText
};
// Send API request
fetch(API_URL, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify(data),
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
console.log('Success:', data);
// Write the process at the time of success here
})
.catch((error) => {
console.error('Error:', error);
// Write the error processing here
});
Just needs a few tweaks. Mainly because PopClip doesn’t have an implementation of Fetch. You need to use XMLHttpRequest or Axios. Also, the network entitlement is needed.
The icon didn’t work because there’s no icon with the name bundle:inbox. I used one from Iconify.
// #popclip
// name: Add to Dynalist Inbox
// icon: iconify:material-symbols:move-to-inbox-outline
// language: javascript
// entitlements: [network]
// after: show-status
const dynalist = require('axios').create({
baseURL: "https://dynalist.io/api/v1"
});
const token = "yourapikey"; // Enter your Dynalist API secret token here
const { data } = await dynalist.post("inbox/add", {
token,
content: popclip.input.text
});
if (data._code !== 'Ok') {
throw new Error("Dynalist error: " + data._msg);
}
(The above block is an extension snippet — select it then click “Install Extension” in PopClip.)
Notes:
- Secret token page: https://dynalist.io/developer
- To actually see your inbox items in Dynalist, you have to set up your Inbox: https://help.dynalist.io/article/119-set-an-inbox-location
It works like magic! Thanks for the support!
