This trigger will never fire of its own accord. Its main use is for macros that are designed to be invoked from other macros using the [[Action: Macro run|Macro run]] action.
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).
</pre>
</pre>
''' 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
<pre class="trigger-style">Triggers

<pre class="action-style">Actions
Toggle WiFi
Toggle Bluetooth
Toggle Mobile Data</pre>
''' 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.
