Have you referred below ionic framework documentation ??

> **[Ionic Framework](https://ionicframework.com/docs/v3/native/web-intent/)**

> Ionic is the app platform for web developers. Build amazing mobile, web, and desktop apps all with one shared code base and open web standards

Hope this will helps you.

Thank you for this.

I will try this.

but this plugin also developed by Ionic native. can’t we use custom cordova plugin which is not there in ionic native.

All the ionic Native plugin is working fine. but i am not able to use below plugin.

sevensky-cordova-plugin-intent

As you can see here:

> <https://github.com/ahmadaghazadeh/sevensky-cordova-plugin-intent/blob/525669f7113a3978b31072b25fabedf0dfd00c2d/plugin.xml>

the Plugin’s name is defined as **intentPlugin** :

```auto
<js-module src="www/intentPlugin.js" name="intentPlugin">
        <clobbers target="intentPlugin" />
</js-module>

```

Try the following:

Declaration:

> declare var intentPlugin: any;

I think the declaration has to go after the imports, but before the class or like me: in a separate file ‘declaration.ts’.

Then try to use it, but you have to check your Spelling, because without wrapper your wrapper could not provide autocomplete functions.
