Want to add exception in my notification mute macro

[Startreksuite]

Hello everyone. I found this macro app and have two set up, I would like to add a contact exception for my wife, while I am working. It Is a mute notification macro. Is there a simple way to to this?
Thanks,

The macro likely won't work as is -- the problem is that by the time the trigger is triggered (i.e., a notification has posted), Android has already sounded whatever notification sound is configured for the application and notification. Turning sound or vibration on or off in the Actions section, only applies to subsequent notifications.

You could try:

1. Disabling the notification sound and vibration for the app(s) you're concerned about (the example below assumes the Messages app for text messages is the focus). In other words, change that notification to be silent in Android.
2. Create a macro as shown in the screenshot below. The macro responds to a notification being posted, looks to see if it's from a particular person, and manually makes a sound and vibrates if so.

​

You'd have to repeat this scheme for other apps / events, e.g. an incoming phone call. Same idea, but it'd have slightly different trigger and IF statement...

I would make one macro that sets the volume to 0 and standard volume based on the time, and another macro that handles exceptions. In the second macro you will have to compare the text with your wife's name (or how you have memorized her number in your contacts), if it matches, play a sound in the multimedia channel
