How to send text to my computer from Google Assistant

Post by dcjack86 »

I'm essentially trying to create a command:

"Hey, Google! Type to PC "This is a test"

I would like it to go to wherever the cursor is currently active.

Happy to provide more information and I'm grateful for any help.

I'm trying to do the same thing - using Dropbox - but I'm getting a: -
bad status code 400 received

no matter which dropbox folder I select - it just won't send the file.
Anyone seen this before?

I just ran a test on my own machine and it looks like Dropbox is not working right now with IFTTT.

The other services, Pushbullet and Pushover do seem to be ok.

Hopefully, they will resolve it soon.

IFTTT and Dropbox seem to have settled whatever differences they may have had 😊

I just ran a test and it is working again.
