**Delta Chat version**

Latest, or any.

**Expected behavior**

Be able to automate sending, for example, a text message to a given conversation in a given profile.  
Is it possible to do this from a third party app or an automation app?

**Actual behavior**

Manually send the text, previously choose profile and conversation.

I think a bot is what you want? See

- [GitHub - ArcaneChat/arcanebot-cli-py: Library to speedup ArcaneChat bot development · GitHub](https://github.com/deltachat-bot/deltabot-cli-py)
- [Creating a Delta Chat bot [up-to-date documentation]](https://support.delta.chat/t/creating-a-delta-chat-bot-up-to-date-documentation/4123)

It’s not about directly controlling the Delta Chat app on Android though but rather having a separate app that uses the Delta Chat Core library.

Thanks!

This clearly answers my question. Unfortunately I’m a bit far from Android coding, but an app that could do this would be great to replace similar solutions that forward specific notifications to SMS, Telegram, Whatsapp, etc.
