Use IOS shortcuts to add task

Support
1

What I would like to do, is make an IOS shortcut to add a task to my inbox. I used this with Todoist and it worked great. You can make a widget and use it with voice and Siri.

unfortunately, I have not been able to make the shortcut work. Despite the tips from my friend ChatGPT.

Does anybody use a shortcut for Vikunja taak?

Here’s Scriptable app script you can call from Shortcuts. Update server url and API token.
Haven’t used it in a while, pardon if it does not work.

Script

`// Vikunja Task Creator Script for Scriptable
// This script performs a PUT request to create/update a task in Vikunja API.
// Title and description are parametric: passed via args.plainTexts[0] and args.plainTexts[1],
// or prompted if not provided.

// Check for passed arguments (e.g., from Shortcuts)
let title = args.plainTexts[0]
let description = args.plainTexts[1]

// title = “123333”
// description = “777777”
