Hi @Karthik_Cs ,  
I would try an API bridge between the schedule tool and Central's entities endpoint.

Great. This is fantastic if it works, let me know when you have an update, I will take inputs and implement it for our setup.  
I'm using ODK Central In-house setup, and I would like to enable Encryption feature as well to protect submissions on the device end.  
Is there a way to setup ODK Central with authentication while open up the app ?

Sorry I was unclear @Karthik_Cs...  
I do not plan to try ☹ but that's what I would try if I needed it.

My question is not asked you to write and tell me, it was about feasibility check - to know whether it will work, just to know from community that if anyone have tried and works.

@all Could you respond if you come across with this requirement and tried something similar to this?
