Trigger: Notification Bar Button

The Notification Bar Button trigger fires when the associated button is pressed in the MacroDroid notification button bar. This allows you to create quick-access buttons in the notification area that trigger macros with a single tap. The notification buttons can be configured via the "Notification Bar Options" on the MacroDroid home screen.

Options

Button Selection

First, you must select which notification button will trigger this macro. The available buttons are configured in MacroDroid's notification bar settings. If no buttons are configured, you will be prompted to set them up first.

Collapse on Press

Enabled (default) - The notification bar will collapse and return to its normal state after the button is pressed
Disabled - The notification bar remains expanded after the button is pressed, allowing for additional actions without closing the notification panel

Note: On Android 12+, the collapse functionality requires Accessibility Service to be enabled for MacroDroid.
