Use a Set Variable -- Random action to create a random integer value, then use that value to configure a Wait action.
Thank you so much!
You could try something like that...

I've created and published this very simple macro that you can modify.
You're right: it's really simple!
First, don't forget that wait time has to be in seconds so, to get a range from 10 to 60 minutes, you have to generate a random number from 10*60=600 to 60*60=3600.
Then the macro has to randomly launch an app repeatedly. For such a large interval of time (from 10 to 60 minutes), I think it's better to use a stopwatch instead of a 'Wait' action to prevent the macro from being in a wait state most of the time rather than being stopped every time it randomly launches an app.
Unless I didn't understand exactly what chiemi and 4ces are looking for...
Feel free to modify it! I made sure to make it as barebones as possible to make it easy to modify and add to. I'll be working on the stopwatch version!

Thanks for posting this! I was going through the macro you created, and I had some more questions. I wanted to create a macro that ran during certain times of the day, IE between 9am-5pm, and I want it to click on a specific apps notification to open it. This should be done 5 times per hour but randomly during the hour, and continue running during the hours of 9AM-5PM. Does that make more sense? Thanks for all your help!!!!
If you want it to run five times per hour, then the max wait would have to be 12 minutes, and be in a fixed count loop of 5 for every hour.
Hello! I can't seem to open these macros. The webpage shows up empty for me. Have they been deleted? Thanks!
you need to open them on a device with macrodroid installed, or go to the template store in macrodroid app and search for the id, it's at the end of these links, in this case: id=8876 and id=8877
hmm, then you might have to allow the browser to launch external app, i am not sure how to do that though...
