Notifications with quick actions?


#1

Sorry if this is a no0b question but is it possible to raise a push notification with a quick action. E.g. I raise a push notification informing me that I left the front door unlocked. I want a quick action to lock the door.

If you have Android, then yes, it is possible with the $3 app called Tasker.

I already have Tasker actually! Haven’t used it for anything yet though. Do you know if there’s a tutorial somewhere that I can follow for this integration?

It is an old post, but this link shows the basic construct.

Sample pic below:

In your case, you can have Tasker send a HTTP request to a piston’s External URL. That piston has only one line of code: (Lock the door). When you press that button in your notification tray, the piston will run, and the door will lock.


You can get even fancier using the extra $2 plugin called AutoNotification

Sample pics below, which could point to dozens of pistons / actions:
