Trigger: Empty Trigger

This trigger will never fire of its own accord. It can be used for a macro that you want to invoke only with the "Run Macro" action. It may also be used when still developing a macro as a placeholder for future trigger(s).

Options

This trigger has no configurable options.

Use Cases

The Empty Trigger is useful for:

• Creating utility macros that should only run when called by other macros via the "Run Macro" action
• Building reusable action sequences that can be invoked from multiple places (Action Blocks are now preferred for this)
• Macros that should never run automatically but only on demand
• A placeholder trigger while a macro is in development

Notes

• A macro with only an Empty Trigger will never run automatically.
• To invoke such a macro, use the "Run Macro" action from another macro, or use the MacroDroid Shortcut widget.
• Empty Trigger macros can also be invoked via the MacroDroid Webhook API or HTTP Request Trigger in another macro.
