Hi!
I'm currently building an actionable notification and i want one of the actions it to initiate a call out if pressed. I can't seem to get the Intent String right. Any advice?
Thank you!
#Intent String for ACTION_CALL

android.intent.action.CALL in the future you can google the intent name and the android developer page willl contain the value the app expects. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent#ACTION_CALL
test the action first because a special permission is required for it to work
the app will request it the first time the command is used

Thank you! I'm having a hard time formating the Intent string Home Assistant nee...
yea most documentation refers to things by the variable name and not the constant value which is what the app expects at the end of the day

I tried this string formatted to that the companion app mentions. Is this correct? intent://tel:+18881112222/#Intent;action=CALL;end
I tried it and nothing happened, but I feel like I'm not formatting it right

the action needs the same string there, not sure on the format there google has some docs on the structure....the app merely validates the URI scheme

So if it opens the Home Assistant home page instead on clicking, it means it's validated?

the format may be valid but that doe not mean the intent itself was valid. the logs may show an error
