Whats App Send text is pasted but not sent

Whats App Send sometimes fails for no apparent reason, the text is pasted but not sent.
There is no way to know if the message was sent or not in the automation.
It would be a great solution if there were a success return that could be save as variable, so it could repeat the process in case of failure to send Whats App message.

Unfortunately this feature relies on accessibility service to fake the send button press. There is basically no way that MacroDroid can know if this works or not all it can do is try and press it.

You could potentially add a UI Interaction action after the whatsapp send action to attempt to press the send button. In this case if it is still present then maybe it will send after a second attempt.

I'm not able to reproduce any issue with the whatsapp message sending on my devices so far, but if I can recreate this unrealiability I can try and tweak timings etc. to make it more reliable.

Thanks for the replay, I can't detect any pattern to give any hint why this happens, I tested it on Samsung and Xiaomi.

The problem with the UI Interaction action doing a click is that I couldnt leave it checked to close Whats app automatically.

Wouldn't it be possible to duplicate the 'fake the send button press'? I mean, after the send right after send the command again.

You can use UI Interaction an configure it manually.
