Note

Please take note of the triple /// in x-dispatch:///compose when using the URL scheme.

x-callback-url

Dispatch now supports the x-callback-url protocol developed by Greg Pierce. All x-callback-url parameters are optional. Fill up at least x-success if you want Dispatch to offer to return you to x-source.

x-source

Optional. A friendly name for the app making the call.

x-success

Optional. The URL to use to return the user to the calling application if the user sends the mail. This does not guarantee that the mail has been sent; it only means that the user has followed through the composing process and tap on Send.

x-cancel

Optional. The URL to use to return the user to the calling application if the user cancels the composing process. If not provided, Dispatch will call the URL in x-success instead.

Usage Example

Check out some x-callback kungfu by https://twitter.com/hiilppp/ to compose in Drafts, send to Dispatch, attach Dropbox file, send and return.

If you've more x-callback kungfu to share, please email support@dispatchapp.net.
