So I made what I feel like is a goofy mistake.

I had a call I needed to make at a specific time yesterday, and I know my ADHD brain. I knew I was going to be distracted and forget to do it, or just put it off.

I made a profile that ran at that specific time yesterday to automatically call that number for me, and I'd set a separate alarm on my phone a minute before so I'd remember it was going to call and I'd have to deal with it. It worked perfectly, and I got everything taken care of.

Buuuuuuut, I forgot to go in and delete the profile when I was finished, so it called the number again today at the same time. Only this time? I wasn't anywhere around. Hell! I was actually sleeping.

So, now I'd like to know if there's a way to add an action to a task that tells it to delete the profile once the task has finished, in case I need anymore one-time automations.

Hi, everyone!

I've been using the volume long press feature as a profile to activate some tasks, but is there any way to make the duration shorter? I know you can add extra time, but that's not what I'm after.

I've been using Key Mapper because I can set the long press to something like 300 just to have it trigger a little quicker, but it would be a much cleaner workflow to have all of this set up in Tasker.

First off, let me say that I've noticed people having issues with some of their phone orders because the website shows they're out of stock, but this is not the case for me.

On Saturday, I opted to take advantage of the Pixel 10 offer. I placed the order and got an E-mail stating I would receive tracking information within 24-48 hours.

By Monday, nothing had come. No biggy, I thought, they probably don't ship on weekends. I went ahead and reached out just to make sure everything was all good, and they told me I should receive the phone by Wednesday.

Well, yesterday evening, since I still hadn't received a tracking number, I was like, ok, clearly I'm not receiving this tomorrow, so I decided to check in one more time.

The rep on the phone assures me that my order is still in progress, and to wait until the end of day yesterday for the tracking number. If I still haven't received it, to call back today and they'll cancel my order.

I'd really not like to have to do that, as this really is a good deal, but I keep getting told different things and it's starting to leave a bad taste.
