Simple macro I made a while ago.
You can also use the attached .macro file.
In this example the variable is set to thevringer volume. It's here to restore the original volume after the call as the volume is modified.

I guess you wrote this macro a long time ago because you now know that it's not possible to modify ringer volume while a call is incoming...
The volume change will be effective for next calls.
You should have a look to MD Wiki to get more familiar with MacroDroid.

I just tested to confirm and it did seems to work as intended, the volume definitely went up....I guess you wrote this macro a long time ago because you now know that it's not possible to modify ringer volume while a call is incoming...

That's amazing! As far as I remember, Jamie himself confirmed that in some recent posts.
Anyway apart from volume, it's not possible to change ringtone while a call is incoming. I'll check on my side for volume a bit later...

Here is another example of using variables.
In the screenshot
The BTCycle is a Boolean variable - true when my BT cycle computer is connected and false when it's disconnected.
I use this type of variable extensively, as it's extremely easy to use for constraints as shown in the screenshot.
The BT Cycle is a string variable.
I recommend that you work out a strategy for naming global variables, as the number of global variables can increase significantly.
For example, I try to make the name self defining and try to start the variable name with the function of the macro.
That way it makes it easier to find a specific variable in the list, especially useful as the number of global variables increases.
In the screenshot all the variables start with BT as the macro is a Bluetooth macro.
Similarly all my WiFi related macros use global macros starting with WiFi eg WiFiConnected, WiFiCalling.
Don't worry if you decide to change a global variable name - it can be done easily from the variable list and MD will change every occurrence of the variable in your macros for you automatically.
