I’m completely new to Thunkable. I am considering using it to do a MVP
It seems to have an impressive feature set. But there is one feature I need I have not managed to find:
Can I share data from other apps into an app built with Thunkable? For instance, share a picture from the gallery or whatsapp into my app. I see the other way is possible via the Share Component
No, This component won’t. You can only upload images from gallery in this. What kind of project are you making. Share me the link and I will help you out.I am waiting for your response
I’m not build yet, just trying to decide which platform to use. The in typical use scenario the user will share data while using other apps, so my app should be able to handle target share requests.
For instance, you could share anything on a whatsapp thread: text, link, foto or video. You would share from whatsapp and choose my app as share target.
Yes , I think you can. You should start building then only you would get difficulties. Start building in Thunkable.I think you are good to go on thunkable as you can send the user notification , link it to firebase and much more.I hope this helps.
I’ve moved your post to #thunkable-cross because Classic is being wound down.
Unfortunately, you can’t do this directly but you could use a third party service as an intermediary.
For instance, Thunkable natively supports Firebase and Cloudinary. This means that you could push data from WhatsApp, etc to your preferred cloud storage and then, when your Thunkable app opens, you could pull that data in from the cloud.
It’s a real pity that target sharing is not supported directly.
For my app, avoiding any friction during sharing is critical. When sharing from another app, my app would need to show up as target to allow the user to specify a destination within the app.
Being totally ignorant on mobile dev, I read that in certain cases this is something that can be done externally, i.e. modifying the Manifest file. Would this approach be possible for a Thunkable app?
