Using the sip:// custom URL scheme, you can interact with the Sip app and trigger specific actions.

The URL schemes allow you to:

  • Activate license
  • Open Picker
  • Open Contrast Checker
  • Open Settings
  • Add Colors
  • Add Palettes

This enables deeper integration with your workflow.

​

sip://license/{{SERIAL_NUMBER}}

This will launch the Activation Window and automatically populate the license field with your {{SERIAL_NUMBER}}.
