Clipboard troubles

[219]

Hey folkes.

I have trouble using the Clipboard.
When I make a Macro with action to fill a string-variable with the clipboard text, its just make it empty.
Is it only me, Who has trouble with this?

Is it not possible to make a Macro with trigger "clipboard changer"? So when the text in clipboard is changes it trigs the actions?

Thanks for you help

Of course you can use 'Clipboard changes' as a trigger. Depending on what text you want this trigger to fire, enter either the exact text, or part of the text (such as "Part of the text*" or "*" to match any text -without quotes) or a more sophisticated regex expression.

To store the clipboard content in a string variable, use [clipboard] magic text.

Where is this magic text located? I dont have that option in my macrodroid actions.

Just use [clipboard] (with refresh clipboard action before querying).

Same problem with the original poster. Android 13 seems like blocking macrodroid access from clipboard. Can anyone confirm it? No root access btw.

Clipboard changer as trigger wont do anything but when i change it to regular interval any action that is related to clipboard is working, why is that?

Have you figure it out what make it work?

As stated by @Endercraft please ensure you use the refresh clipboard action before trying to get the value stored in the clipboard. It's unfortunate that this is required but sadly Google have restriced access to clipboard content to foreground apps only and this is a workaround for that issue.

Because apps detect clipboard change with Logcat.

Hi
I just found that thread via search function, but I'm not sure if this is the right topic.

If I want to use the clipboard change trigger, I have to grant permissions to MD over and over, because I can't grant persistent permission.
There is only one button for "allow once".

Is there maybe a possibility to add something to the MD helper app?

Sorry for German screenshot but I changed MD to English at least
