These tasks are started when certain events occur, these events are called 'Triggers'. MacroDroid supports a wide range of triggers, for example:
Triggers can be a multitude of things for example:
+
* SMS (text) sent or received
SMS (text) sent or received, entering or leaving a location or SIM card changed. Again this is not a full list, there are absolutely loads of triggers.  
+
* Entering or leaving a location
 +
* Time of Day.
    
There are also constraints, which are conditions that have to be met before the actions run, even if they have been triggered. Constraints can be applied to individual actions to skip them if needed.
