We're evaluating AutomateIt-Automate Your Droid https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=AutomateIt.mainPackage, as
potential way to automatically launch our CommCare app after the user
completes a call (either inbound or outbound). We'll be using a 'register
call' form within our app to capture additional meta-data about the call.
One general question: does anyone one the list have experience with
'AutomateIt-Automate Your Droid' or other app/workflow to handle this use
case?
Specific question: is there a way to launch CommCare to open a particular
form within the app?
[I seem to recall that it's possible open a particular case, but I can find
the related documentation to open either a case of a form]
This is definitely possible. This is documented on our wiki here: https://bitbucket.org/commcare/commcare-odk/wiki/ApiWorkflowIntent but
isn't particularly well fleshed out. It should let you direct the user to
any place they could have gotten to in the app, either the case list or a
form with cases selected.
Let me know if I can answer any questions about using this.

Thanks Nick. We tried this out and it works fine. For future reference,
it would be nice add home screen shortcuts to a specific form, and not
only a specific module. We recently started displaying forms in the main
menu to simplify the application, so the application short cut workflow is
a bit awkward (ie. the user ends up opening a module that is not seen when
navigating from the login/home screen). Ray

Hi Ray,
You can also put CommCare Widgets directly on the home screen for users to
launch directly into forms from the home screen. That is documented here:
