Need help capturing paste event in SDK2

Hi,


We are working on a miro plugin, using SDK 2, for an integration with one of our systems. When pasting a url from that system on the miro board I’d like to capture that event and create a card instead of just pasting the link. I’ve searched everywhere I can think of, but I’m not able to figure out how to capture this event? Although I see other plugins do the same thing (e.g. the Jira plugin).

 

Is there any documentation for this? Or has anyone figure out a way to do this and is willing to share this solution?

 

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, we’ll dive into webhooks to see if we can use them to solve this.

Hey John,

 

Thanks for your query. We do not support this feature at the moment, but you can certainly add this as a feature request here: https://developers.miro.com/page/roadmap.

 

In the meanwhile, as a workaround, you might also want to look at our recently released Webhooks REST APIs that you can probably use to listen to new text widgets created containing certain URLs and write a logic to create a card.

 

If you’d like to explore and learn more about Webhooks APIs, you can take a look at our documentation here: https://developers.miro.com/reference/webhooks-overview.

 

Thanks and have a good one!

Hey there

 

From what I can tell, this is not possible with SDK 2 as of now.  

 

With version 1 of the SDK, you used to be able to listen to the WIDGETS_CREATED event, which is probably what you would need, since pasting a link creates a Text-widget (or a preview, if supported) on the board.

This and other events aren’t available in SDK 2 yet, but there’s a feature request on it on Miro’s Dev Platform “Roadmap”.

That’s for the SDK, but I’m not sure about what the REST API provides us with for such a use-case. Maybe the webhooks could help there too.
