Screen content (read) as a trigger - problem

[Nolan]

Hi

i made a macro that sends an email when i have uploaded files to synology NAS via android "drive" app. Its triggered when screen shows "uploaded" but this is for small files shown only a fraction of a second so macrodroid dont make it to read the text.

Any idea how to solve this ?

thanks

Sorry buy I can't think of any easy way as the screen contents can only be sampled with a certain frequency else there may be performance implications for the device.

Thanks, yes i assumed the same - but worth a try

Hi

i tried something new to solve this.

1. I made a the macro trigger by screen content, but it seems that MD does not read "toast" texts - is that correct (the toast stayed on for 3-4 seconds which should be enough for MD to read it i assume)?

2. Further i made the macro trigger react on text on in the notification in the notificatino bar, MD did not respond to that either. The notification showed up as normal however the notification dissapeared after 4-5 seconds. Any idea why that dont work either ?

Its about the onelab app called Clipt - which can be used to send clipboard content between devices as well as files
