Appex extension -identify sharing app

[ihf]

I would like my script to use the appropriate get (get.url or get.text, etc.) based on the app sharing its data. Is there a way to know the name of the app that invoked the sharing extension?

I don't think you can identify the sharing app but you can use get_inputs to identify the type of data that's being shared and then code to use it appropriately.

Thanks. Where is get_inputs found?

[dgelessus]

It's called get_input (not get_inputs) and it's a regular function on the appex module.

Perfect. Thank you both.
