Notes

  • This trigger only fires when interacting with the MacroDroid app itself.
  • The drawer refers to the navigation drawer (side panel) within the MacroDroid application.
  • This is primarily useful for:
    • Adding haptic or audio feedback to the app interface
    • Logging app usage patterns
    • Triggering app-specific customizations
