<pre class="header-style">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.</pre>
<pre style="background-color: #ACC8E5; color: #112A46; border-radius: 10px; padding: 10px;">
</pre>
''' 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''
<pre class="trigger-style">Triggers
</pre><br>
Macro Finished - Data Sync Macro</pre>
<pre style="background-color: green; color: white; border-radius: 10px; padding: 10px;">
<pre class="action-style">Actions
Notification - Data sync complete!
Play Sound - notification_complete.mp3</pre>
Shows a notification and plays a sound when the "Data Sync Macro" finishes execution.
</pre><br>
''Example 2: Chain Multiple Macros''
<pre class="trigger-style">Triggers
Macro Finished - Step 1 Macro</pre>
<pre class="action-style">Actions
Wait 2 seconds
Run Macro - Step 2 Macro</pre>
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
