Macro running after WhatsApp received

I'v created a macro to send a message when a WhatsApp is received form a specific person. The problem is, the marco is only runnig when I open the phone.

I'm hearing that I have received a new whatsapp message, but not the name of the person. Any idea what could be wrong?

WhatsApp doesn't think very well of automated processing.
If you continue to use that macro, your account could be restricted.

Thanks for your response, but I think is not exactly what I'm looking for. I don't need a response to the WhatsApp, I need only a monitoring of the incoming messages. Here is an example:

Situation: Phone is locked

- A WhatsApp is coming, I here the message "you have received a new Whatsapp message"
- The marco should monitoring any incoming message
- The trigger is pointed to: Notification Received contains: Bob (WhatsApp)
- Action Speak Text: "New WhatsApp from Bob"

What exact problem are you experiencing? I use such a macro based on Notification from Whatsapp and have no problem to catch the name and the text of the message even if the screen is off.

I have to unlock the phone and have to open Whatsapp to hear the notification. It is running on Samsung S10 maybe the phone is the problem.

Here's the macro I've been using for year, not to Speak text but to write in user's log. It's very simple and efficient. Yours should work the same way... (I use Galaxy A40, Android v9 - the best version with nearly no limits 😉😀)

I cannot understand any reason why you would have to open Whatsapp for the trigger to fire unless you have done something like added a constraint that whatsapp is the foreground application.
