So far ive been using macrodroid and i have been very happy. But i recently tried Automate and i was surprised by the much more options it has. Do you think its worth switching? Because macrodroid is way more intuitive and probably still has everything i need

Hey everyone, I’m looking for someone who’s experienced with MacroDroid and can help me automate a series of tasks on Android.

I already have the workflow/tasks in mind — I need someone who can set up the macros properly and make sure the entire process works reliably.

💰 Payment: 20$ if the automation works as required.

You should ideally:

- Have good experience with MacroDroid

- Know how to create complex macros/automations

- Be comfortable troubleshooting and refining the setup

- Be able to explain/hand over the final setup once it’s working

If you’re interested, DM me with your experience and, if possible, examples of MacroDroid automations you’ve made.

Thanks!

So, existing script worked fine, but now with recent updates by Google to Android (its a Pixel 9 Pro), the script no longer enables WiFi, and I have no idea how to fix this.

Is there any existing bug report on this behavior?

I am really passionate about Macrodroid, I really enjoy building macros by myself with critical thinking!

I am a student from Bangladesh, current can't manage the money to buy the subscription and there is no such facilities to create an International purchase, I have no dual currency card.

Is here anybody who is willing to give me a premium subscription.

I downloaded this app forever ago, tried to use it and became so completely overwhelmed by my ignorance that I set my phone down and just slowly backed away into a corner.

I really want to use it to create automation that could help me manage my ADHD ravaged household but I am so lost I don't know how to get started.

I've started searching for tutorials but most have me lost by the intro.

If you were trying to teach a 5 year old, what resources would you recommend...actually my 5 year old might be better at this than me...a caveman perhaps?

I'm trying to migrate from Llama, as after switching to my new phone, my banking app doesn't like Llama using accessibility settings (it's the only way to keep it scanning cell towers so far) and as an app installed from unknown sources. For now I've set up an Automate flow that can turn off accessibility separately, then I can do banking. But then I need to turn on accessibility again for Llama.

So I'm trying out MacroDroid which also supports cell tower and I tried to use its scan tower feature to set a Home location. But unfortunately, after multiple tries to get it to work as foreground or background, no dice - it can't find anything.

I can use geofences of course (which works), but cell tower is less power intensive. Any recommendations? Thanks.

I have made a macro such that whenever I close a specified app, it immediately opens another app. So, for that specified app I have added the 'Application Closed' trigger.

But the trigger gets triggered for system level overlays within the app. For example, if I click share and the Android file sharing menu appears then the macro gets triggered, or if I open camera within the app and camera Access is disabled system-wide then there is a pop-up asking me to enable the camera even then the macro gets triggered.

I am using legacy mechanism for the trigger because I cannot use accessibility in this specific instance. Is there any way to not trigger the macro in those above instances?

Hi! Does anyone know if it's possible to automatically get a list of a macro's triggers?

My idea is to create a macro that lets me enable and disable specific triggers, but it's pretty annoying to have to get each one manually.

Hi! I'm writing to get some ideas.

How can I receive a text message, read its content, and then send it via an HTTP request? I'm interested in capturing both the content and the sender's number.

Thank you in advance for reading this post.

Hello. I have an app that needs to run 24/7 and to be connected to WiFi 24/7. I managed to create a simple Reconnect WiFi if Disconnected WiFi Macro, but I struggle with opening app when closed. I do not care about battery or screen awake or any other things. Any suggestions or posts already in regards this?

Hi everyone,

Could you please help me create a MacroDroid macro, if this is possible?

The first step is already set up: I added the app that the macro should work with.

In this app, a red image appears at a specific location on the screen. When the red image appears, I want the macro to click on another specific location. It should then keep repeating this process: every 1–3 seconds, the macro should check whether the red color is present, and if it is, click on the specified location.

I have already created the click action and specified the coordinates.

However, I’m missing the main part: I don’t understand how to properly set up the pixel color check and what other actions or conditions I need to make this work.

Would checking the color of a specific pixel be a good approach for this, or is there a better way to detect when the red image appears?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
