SmartSuite Widget for the easiest way to input ideas
J
Jon Kay
For brainstorming, quick ideas, reminders, mind-blowing epiphanies or maybe just something we can't forget for work, we need the quickest (least amount of clicks) to add something to SmartSuite. A one-click that macros its way to me talking to SmartSuite would be ideal.
ClickUp's reminders are what I use at the moment. It drops into the Home page under Today, so I am forced to deal with it. It can stay as a Reminder or I can convert it to a Task and assign it to a Space/Folder/List.

Can we get iOS Widget integration to be able to trigger quick actions from my phone home screen?
ClickUp does this nicely where you can set a default list (for SmartSuite you would select the Solution / Table) and then also set field defaults (like assigning yourself, specific dates, etc)
I would use this for jotting down ideas or action items to take action on later when I'm at my computer.

Hiya Caleb Cook, thanks for this post! I have a few more questions for you:
- What specific quick actions would you like to trigger from the iOS widget?
- How frequently do you anticipate using the widget for jotting down ideas or action items?
- Are there any specific field defaults you would like to set when using the widget?

- Add Record Widget (widget settings would let me pick the table and ideally prefill a couple field defaults if I want, like a custom tag or description.)
- My Work Widget
- "Bookmark" widget (basically where I can pick one or more custom shortcuts to take me directly to a page in SmartSuite)
I use the ClickUp one daily to jot down notes and action items.
As far as specific field defaults - I know it's tricky since fields vary based on the widget, so I could see that happening one of two ways.
- Setting the defaults in the widget directly would be great if there's a good fallback when a field is deleted. So I can select my fields first, then my defaults directly in the item widget.
- Making a flag in the record that shows that it was created "via IOS Widget" and allowing Automations to run based on that. (IE: If a record is made via IOS widget, allow me to run automations on that record like changing assignee to myself, updating description, etc)

A mobile widget on iphone/android would be fantastic for this
