This trigger will fire when a missed call occurs. A missed call is defined as an incoming call that you did not answer.

Options

  • Select Contacts - Choose specific contacts from your contact list. You can select multiple contacts and optionally exclude them instead of matching.
    • Any Contact - Fires when a missed call comes from any number saved in your contacts
    • Non Contact - Fires when a missed call comes from a number not in your contacts
    • Unknown Caller - Fires when a missed call has an unknown or private number (caller ID blocked)
  • Select Groups - Filter by contact groups (such as Favorites or Friends). The trigger activates only when missed calls come from members of the chosen groups.
  • Select Number - Specify an exact or partial phone number to match. Supports wildcards and regular expressions.
    • Exclude - Option to trigger for all numbers EXCEPT the specified number
    • Enable Regex - Enable regular expression matching for advanced pattern matching
  • Any Number - Fires regardless of the calling number

Magic Text

When this trigger fires, the following value are available via magic text for use in subsequent actions.

  • {call_number}
  • {call_name}
  • {call_groups}

Examples

Notes

  • This trigger monitors the call log for missed calls. It requires the READ_CALL_LOG permission.
  • When using contact-based options, the READ_CONTACTS permission is also required.
  • The trigger uses a 90-second lookback window to detect missed calls, which helps when used with the "Wait Until Trigger" action.
  • Multiple missed calls in quick succession are deduplicated based on timestamp to prevent double-firing.
  • The trigger checks constraints before invoking the macro.

Permissions Required

  • READ_PHONE_STATE
  • READ_CALL_LOG
  • READ_CONTACTS (when using contact or group-based filtering)
