Hey friends, as I mentioned the other day, I’m switching to iA Writer for my blogging and writing. This means capturing my ideas directly in iA Writer. Since GoodLinks is my go-to read-it-later app, I’ve created some Custom Actions that seamlessly transfer content from GoodLinks to iA Writer.

Previously, I wrote about creating Custom Actions in GoodLinks and later shared several actions for sending content to Drafts. Both posts were well-received, so I’m excited to share three Custom Actions for sending content from GoodLinks to iA Writer with you.

Title, Author, URL, Selection to iA

ia-writer://x-callback-url/new?text=[title]%0A{_}[author]{_}%0A[url]%0A[selection-text]

This action sends the title, author, URL, and selected text in the active article to iA Writer as plain text.

Selection — iA

ia-writer://x-callback-url/new?text=[selection-text]

This action sends the selected text in the active article to iA Writer as plain text.

Markdown Title, URL — iA 

ia-writer://x-callback-url/new?text={[}[title]{]}{(}[url]{)}

This action sends the title and URL of the active article to iA Writer as markdown.
