Latest revision as of 22:35, 5 January 2026

This trigger will fire when the data connectivity state changes. The device is considered to be connected if it has either a WiFi or mobile data connection.

Options

Data Available - The trigger fires when data connectivity becomes available (either WiFi or mobile data connects).

No Connection - The trigger fires when data connectivity is lost (neither WiFi nor mobile data is connected).

Examples

Example 1: Show notification when connection is lost

Triggers

Data Connectivity Change [No Connection]

Actions

Notification: Internet connection lost

Example 2: Sync data when connection becomes available

Triggers

Data Connectivity Change [Data Available]

Actions

Run Macro: Sync My Data

Constraints

WiFi Connected

Notes

This trigger monitors the ConnectivityManager for network changes.
The trigger considers the device connected if either WiFi OR mobile data is active.
This is different from the WiFi trigger which only monitors WiFi state.
For more granular control, consider using separate WiFi and Mobile Data triggers.
