Receive broadcast for android.intent.action.SENDTO

[Anthony Caetano]

Hi 

I would like to receive android.intent.action.SENDTO for SMS or TEL when an app triggers a sms: or tel: link or button and after intercepting it route it to Whatsapp/Telegram/etc...

The SENDTO isn't listed in the "Broadcast receive" block and manually adding it doesn't seem to work.  The broadcast receiver doesn't receive anything for SENDTO, but my SMS app activates, or phone app activates.

Should it work?  Or is this something that automate can't do at present?

Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Regards

Currently not supported.

I'd suspect it not even possible to implement due to the system only allowing the default dialer app to get tel:, and default messaging app to get sms: URIs.

To get android.intent.action.SEND use the Content shared block.

Ok thanks for the info!  Makes sense.

So an app which receives tel: and sms: (if the user sets it as default), and then on this trigger gives the user a choice to share/route it to another app seems like the best way forward...

I guess so.
