Daily Points on Shopping Apps

[jhl]

Hello

On some shopping apps, you can earn daily points, and using those points - you can get discounts.

The first one is SHEIN.

First screen is this:


Second screen is this:


Third screen is this:


Fourth screen is this:


After you click "Go check in" you get the daily points and no more actions is required.

So I'm thinking a few things with this:
1) Maybe there's a way to click on the forth screen "Go check in" without opening the app at all?
My guess - send intent?
Found matching "point" on manifest:
com.zzkko.bussiness.person.ui.points.PointsListActivity
com.zzkko.bussiness.person.ui.points.PointSourceActivity
com.zzkko.bussiness.person.ui.points.PointsHistoryListActivity
com.zzkko.bussiness.person.ui.PointsActivity
com.zzkko.bussiness.person.ui.CheckInActivity (I think it's this one)

<activity theme="AppTheme" name="com.zzkko.bussiness.person.ui.CheckInActivity" screenOrientation="1"/>

2) Automate clicking intervals?

This macro has to work once a day.

This macro will be helpful for EVERYONE that uses SHEIN shopping app.

So after some time of trying to figure it out I created this:


And when I test it I get this error:


I have no idea how to continue from here.
No matter what I put on "class" I keep getting the same error with "Permission Denial".

I found this on the manifest:

It's related to "permissions", do I need to integrate it into the MacroDroid send intent?
If I need to integrate it, how do I do that?

I will tell you why.
This activity is app internal activity and it's not intended to be launched by external apps. Only way how to launch these activities is normally inside app or with ROOT. However even with root permission MacroDroid is still not able to launch these internal activities and you need to use apps like root activity launcher from play store that have locale/tasker plugin. Also I doubt OP is rooted.

Btw you have missing action: android.intent.action.MAIN

First of all - Thank you for answering me!

"Only way how to launch these activities is normally inside app" - To combat this let's program MacroDroid to open "SHEIN" and from there to "Send intent"? Will this work?
a) Launch app "SHEIN"
b) Send intent
Will this work?

"root activity launcher from play store that have locale/tasker plugin."
Can you link me a few that you know of?

No. This is not going to work. You need to get there with UI interaction

Root Activity Launcher

 

[jhl]

No. This is not going to work. You need to get there with UI interaction

Root Activity Launcher

It cost money.

"No. This is not going to work. You need to get there with UI interaction"
OK, So let's use UI interaction.
How do I use it?
Can we automate it?

MacroDroid supports UI interaction. It's an action in "Device Actions" category. Explore how it works on yourself. It's nothing hard.

Why don't you create a simple test macro with the UI Interaction action in it and try using it?

Thank you for everything so far!

Now how do I make it "WAIT UNTILL DEVICE UNLOCKED"?

I want this macro to run when I receive this notification, but when I receive this notification the device is locked, so I need to make it so it will run as soon as the device is unlocked.

if notification received set your variable true. If screen unlocked while variable is true do the actions and set your variable back false.

I thing this will annoy you when you want to use your phone, but 1 time per 24hours is okay.

 

[jhl]

if notification received set your variable true. If screen unlocked while variable is true do the actions and set your variable back false.

I don't understand, sorry.
Can you explain it better for me?

No. Find someone else.

@jhl The basic premise of what you want to do is as follows:

M1
T -> Notification received
A -> Set variable (Some boolean to true)

M2
T -> Device Unlocked
A -> Bunch of UI interactions
A -> Set variable (same as above to false)
C -> Variable is currently set to true.

You may be able to automate the unlocking of the device with UI INteraction actions if you have a PIN code entry set. I've never tried this myself but I believe there are some users who do this.

I did something similar.
T -> Screen Unlocked + Notification present

So I unlock the phone and if the notification is present it will play the macro, after it finished I manually delete the notification.

Thank you for everything!
