An action is something your device can do when a macro runs. A macro must have at least one action to be valid.

=== Synchronous vs asynchronous ===

−

~~Most of~~ MacroDroid actions ~~take a minuscule amount of time to~~ execute~~. But some~~ actions ~~such as~~ HTTP ~~request~~ or a shell ~~script action can~~ take ~~a significant time to complete~~. ~~Some of~~ these actions ~~have an option~~ to "Block next action until complete" in ~~their~~ configuration GUI. ~~If this option is enabled subsequent actions will wait until this action completes before continuing. If the option is disabled~~ the action will run asynchronously while other actions continue.

+

+

MacroDroid actions typically execute quickly, but certain actions like HTTP requests or shell scripts may take longer. To ensure that subsequent actions wait for these longer actions to complete before continuing, enable the 'Block next action until complete' option in the action's configuration GUI. Otherwise, the action will run asynchronously while other actions continue.

−

In ~~conventional~~ programming languages you ~~would probably be able to~~ pass a callback to ~~call when~~ the ~~execution~~ is complete to perform ~~some other~~ actions ~~after the asynchronous action has completed (possibly even~~ work with the data if the asynchronous action ~~returned some)~~, ~~but because~~ MacroDroid inner workings are ~~rather~~ arbitrary there is ~~usually~~ no ~~such~~ systematic option ~~and~~ you ~~need to~~ rely on different workarounds.

+

In traditional programming languages, you could pass a callback function to execute after the asynchronous action is complete. This allows you to perform additional actions or work with the data returned by the asynchronous action. However, MacroDroid's inner workings are arbitrary, so there is no systematic option for this. Instead, you must rely on different workarounds.
