It is possible to start shares in Hauk via Tasker, starting from v1.3.

To create a Hauk task, create a task and add a new action. Choose "System" > "Send Intent".

Start a single-user share, then open a "share via" dialog

This action will start a single user share and then immediately open a share UI prompting the user to share the resulting tracking link.

Action: info.varden.hauk.START_ALONE_THEN_SHARE_VIA
Package: info.varden.hauk
Class: info.varden.hauk.global.Receiver
Target: Broadcast Receiver

Extra Type Default Value
source String Required A human readable ID that identifies the source of the broadcast. The first time you use this broadcast, the attempt will be blocked and the user is prompted to authorize shares to be started from broadcast intents identified by the source you specify here. Subsequent broadcasts with the same ID will either start a sharing session or be silently ignored depending on the user's response to the authorization prompt.

username String Last used1) The username for the Hauk backend, if applicable
password String Last used1) The password for the Hauk backend
duration Integer Last used2) Duration of the sharing session, in seconds
interval Integer Last used3) Interval between each submitted location update, in seconds
requestLink String Last used1) A named location link ID that should be used instead of one randomly generated by the server. This field should not include the server URL. Set to empty string to force a random link.
adoptable Boolean Last used4) true if the share should be adoptable by others, false otherwise

1) Uses the setting that was last used when starting a share from within the Hauk UI.
2) See 1). Default if never used is 30 seconds.
3) See 1). Default if never used is 1 second.
4) See 1). Default if never used is true to allow adoption.
