Trigger: Macro finished
The Macro Finished trigger fires when execution of a specified macro has completed. This allows you to chain macros together or perform follow-up actions after another macro finishes running.
Options
- Macro Selection: Choose which macro to monitor for completion:
- This Macro: Fires when the current macro completes (useful for cleanup tasks at the end of the macro itself)
- [Other Macro Name]: Select any other macro from the list
The list shows all macros sorted alphabetically, with favorite macros marked with a star. A search feature is available when there are more than 10 macros.
Examples
Example 1: Follow-up Notification
Triggers Macro Finished - Data Sync Macro
Actions Notification - Data sync complete! Play Sound - notification_complete.mp3
Shows a notification and plays a sound when the "Data Sync Macro" finishes execution.
Example 2: Chain Multiple Macros
Triggers Macro Finished - Step 1 Macro
Actions Wait 2 seconds Run Macro - Step 2 Macro
Automatically runs "Step 2 Macro" after "Step 1 Macro" completes, with a short delay.
Notes
- The trigger fires when all actions in the specified macro have completed execution.
- The current macro cannot trigger itself via "This Macro" in a loop - it only fires once per execution.
- If the selected macro is deleted or renamed, the trigger will attempt to find it by name on import.
- Favorite macros are displayed with a star icon in the selection list.
- This trigger is useful for:
- Creating sequential macro workflows
- Performing cleanup after other macros
- Triggering notification/logging of macro completion
- Building modular automation systems
Use Cases
- Creating multi-step workflows that depend on completion order
- Logging when specific macros finish
- Triggering cleanup or follow-up tasks
- Building complex automation chains
