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
Examples
Example 1: Common settings toggle
Triggers Empty Trigger
Actions Toggle WiFi Toggle Bluetooth Toggle Mobile Data
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.
