Advanced Integration: Application Protocol for Action Invocation

In addition to the intuitive UI enhancements, OmniScope now offers an advanced feature for tech-savvy users and integrators: the ability to invoke actions using the application protocol. This feature opens up new possibilities for workflow automation and integration with other tools.

By using the custom URI scheme omniscope://, actions can be triggered programmatically. For example, the format omniscope://action?id=ActionID&param=ActionParam allows you to specify the action ID and parameters directly in the URL. This method is particularly useful for integrating OmniScope actions into scripts, macros, or third-party applications, providing a seamless bridge between OmniScope and your broader toolset.

The ActionID can be found when mouse hovering the action in the editor:

Whether through the user-friendly Action Editor or the advanced application protocol feature, OmniScope continues to pave the way for efficient, streamlined workflows.

Conclusion

The new Action Editor in OmniScope is more than just a feature update; it's a significant enhancement to the workflow efficiency of our users. Whether you're configuring for keyboard or StreamDeck, these improvements offer an intuitive and customizable experience, tailored to the high-paced demands of professional environments like filmmaking.
