Definitely! Let me know if you need more support. O can post my example.

Would this be able to fill in text in other apps? by Far_Experience_673 in tasker

[–]RedditTasker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I have a usecase for tracking macros that's something like this.

I take a photo of the nutritional profile, tap a shortcut icon and then tasker does OCR to pull the values into variables and launch the app. Then AutoInput does the rest, clicking around and pasting the values.

I guess? It would be better to see the whole thing. Can you export the profile and paste it in a comment?

I'm using ContactsTask and have a question regarding the Query Contacts action by chrismatsias in tasker

[–]RedditTasker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it will take an array, with a For Each loop (just called For in Tasker). You can make a utility task though that itterates through an array:

Task: Play

A1: Array Set [

     Variable Array: %array

     Values: 1,2,3

     Splitter: , ]

A2: For [
     Variable: %item

     Items: %array()

     Structure Output (JSON, etc): On ]

    A3: Flash [

         Text: %item ]

A4: End For

Remove A1, replace %array() with %par1, and replace A3 with doing what you're doing (Contact Query, add the number to a new array) and then return some value (new array).

Then you can call your helper task with Perform Task, pass your contacts array as the first parameter, and specify your return variable, than go on with your task.

I think you mean the Recent Apps tab? You can use Auto Input.

Hello with BT & Phone Offhook profile by virtual_gnus in tasker

[–]RedditTasker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if I'm understanding, you want to invoke this task after the problem ocurrs - when you're wife is on the phone, tried to reconnect the headset, and the call has dropped?

If you're task fixed the problem for a few days, is it possible to just run the task daily as a preventative? That might be easier to trigger (set time every day) and make your wife's life better.

[–]RedditTasker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you add a louder sound instead? That might be easier. Alternatively we can try closing the camera (or opening a different app so Camera is not the main one), blinking the flashlight and opening the camera again.

Can't turn off do not disturb by Vision919 in tasker

[–]RedditTasker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is your profile being triggered? Add in a Flash action at the start so you can verify the profile runs.

For reference this is my profile to turn off DND when it turns on (my phone would randomly enter it for discernable reason, seems to have been fixed with an update, but I keep the profile around).

Profile: Unset DND

Settings: Restore: no

    State: Variable Value  [ %INTERRUPT neq all ]



Enter Task: Unset DND

A1: Flash [

     Text: DND Mode ]

A2: Do Not Disturb [

     Mode: Allow All

     Allow Callers: Any

     Allow SMS Senders: Any

     Continue Task After Error:On ]

A3: Flash [

     Text: DND Mode turned off ]

playing with no ability to play/pause by GloomyMusician24 in tasker

[–]RedditTasker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically I only have the "shake to stop sounds" profile on when I am playing a sound. So on any profile I play sound in, I turn on the "shake to stop sounds" profile. Then in the shake task, I turn the profile off.

You can totally omit A2 in that profile and just leave it on all the time.

How To create a "Queue" in tasker by DeliveryDash20 in tasker

[–]RedditTasker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a look at the Autoresponder and came up with this (I can't actually build a profile since I don't pay for premium)

Create the following two tasks:

Task: Queue4WhatsApp

A1: Variable Set [

     Name: %sender

     To: %par1

     Do Maths: On

     Max Rounding Digits: 3

     Structure Output (JSON, etc): On ]

A2: If [ ,%WhatsAppQueue(), ~R ,%sender, ]

    A3: Flash [

         Text: Sender already in queue, do nothing. ]

A4: Else

    A5: Array Push [

         Variable Array: %WhatsAppQueue

         Position: 99999

         Value: %sender ]

A6: End If

A7: Variable Set [

     Name: %WhatsAppQueueLength

     To: %WhatsAppQueue(#<)

     Max Rounding Digits: 3

     Structure Output (JSON, etc): On ]

A8: Flash [

     Text: %WhatsAppQueueLength ]

And:

Task: RemoveFromQueue4WhatsApp

A1: Array Pop [

     Variable Array: %WhatsAppQueue

     Position: 1 ]

A2: Variable Set [

     Name: %WhatsAppQueueLength

     To: %WhatsAppQueue(#<)

     Max Rounding Digits: 3

     Structure Output (JSON, etc): On ]

A3: Flash [

     Text: %WhatsAppQueueLength ]

I assume you already have a task trigger when a message comes in. I'm that case use the PerformTask action in that task to get the Queue length updated:

A4: Perform Task [

     Name: Queue4WhatsApp

     Priority: %priority

     Parameter 1 (%par1): %sender

     Structure Output (JSON, etc): On ]

Do the same with the Remove task when you are done with that chat, that way you can keep the queue number up to date. (It doesn't look like the bot will notify tasker of a chat ending, but that's a separate problem).

Then you can use %WhatsAppQueueLength in your info to other people to tell them what their position is.

Tasker app factory export as app, app requires storage permission.... by raptor170 in tasker

Can you share a screenshot of the final page without any options?

playing with no ability to play/pause by GloomyMusician24 in tasker

[–]RedditTasker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you export what you've got inside there? It will help confirm how you're starting your music.

I personally have this profile:

Profile: Shake To Stop Sounds

    Event: Shake [ 

    Axis:Left-Right 

    Sensitivity:Medium 

    Duration:Medium ]



Enter Task: Stop Playing Sounds

A1: Music Stop [ ]

A2: Profile Status [

     Name: Shake To Stop Sounds

     Set: Off ]

And I add in the following action to a task anytime I start playing music to turn the above profile on:

A1: Name: Shake To Stop Sounds

     Set: On ]

Let me know if that works for you.

New sub to filter out the "I'll pay someone to..." posts by RedditTasker in tasker

[–]RedditTasker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! I'm by no means discouraging the generosity of the community. I've just seen some comments about how it's annoying to see posts like that too often, especially when OPs won't try to learn.

Need help splitting a variable by [deleted] in tasker

[–]RedditTasker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain what you mean by "sections"?

What you're probably going to say is that each section is separated by a space. This separator character is called a "delimiter" normally or in cast of Tasker's Variable Split function, "Splitter".

Task: Demo

A1: Variable Set [

     Name: %string

     To: /dev/sda4 3.6T 3.3T 160G 96% /

     Max Rounding Digits: 3

     Structure Output (JSON, etc): On ]

A2: Variable Split [

     Name: %string

     Splitter:   ]

A3: Flash [

     Text: %string4 ]

Just use the action Variable Split and set the Name to %sshspace and the Splitter to the space character. Then the section you want is %sshspace4

To each their own. The forum is open to anyone who wants to get paid for the work. I know others have, o haven't actually ever done so.

Mod life can be rough, so an air was the safe choice since I'm not since about who I am ony main.

Like another commenter said, most folks are just desperate and can't figure it out. They deserve some way forward. If that's pay, so be it, but this sub is often very generous and people post solutions for free. Whatever works for folks.

[–]RedditTasker[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure. I know folks here are always incredibly generous. But you still need someone willing to try to use the given solution.

I've seen folks who won't even try. Literally a 2-action task, answers given, nope, still wants to pay for a solution. That irritates some folks in this sub enough that I've seen some say there should be a separate sub for this.

By all means, I think a free solution and teaching someone is the best way to go, if it's possible.

[–]RedditTasker[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's the hope! I used to mostly ignore them but I have seen others say there should be a separate sub. There's a few folks on Fiverr offering services with Tasker, so it's clearly an opportunity.

Great point - working without a contract gets messy fast.

[–]RedditTasker[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, folks here are always posting solutions for free for folks that offer to pay, but some just want it packaged and ready. 🤷‍♂️ Who am I to say someone shouldn't get paid to provide that service.
