This trigger will fire when the device is put into or taken out of silent mode. Silent mode is when the ringer volume is set to zero.

Options

Silent Mode Enabled - The trigger fires when the device enters silent mode (ringer volume set to zero)
Silent Mode Disabled - The trigger fires when the device exits silent mode (ringer volume set above zero)

Examples

Example 1: Visual notification for silent mode

Flash the screen when receiving notifications while in silent mode:

Triggers

Silent Mode Enabled/Disabled: Silent Mode Enabled

Actions

Set Variable: [flash_notifications] = true

Example 2: Restore normal settings

Re-enable notifications when exiting silent mode:

Triggers

Silent Mode Enabled/Disabled: Silent Mode Disabled

Actions

Set Variable: [flash_notifications] = false
Display Notification: "Sound mode restored"

Example 3: Meeting mode automation

Enhance silent mode with additional settings for meetings:

Triggers

Silent Mode Enabled/Disabled: Silent Mode Enabled

Actions

Vibrate: Disable
Auto-Sync: Disable
Display Notification: "Meeting mode activated"

Constraints

Calendar Event Active

Example 4: Vibrate pattern for silent notifications

Use a custom vibration pattern when entering silent mode:

Triggers

Silent Mode Enabled/Disabled: Silent Mode Enabled

Actions

Vibrate: Custom pattern (100ms on, 100ms off, 100ms on)

Notes

This trigger listens for the Android RINGER_MODE_CHANGED_ACTION broadcast
Silent mode is specifically when the ringer volume is set to zero, not to be confused with vibrate mode
On some devices, Do Not Disturb may affect silent mode detection
The trigger fires immediately when the ringer mode changes
