Hi,

You can use the variable triggertime and the dateformat option to create the filename.
For example:
screencap -p /mnt/sdcard/Screenshot_{triggertime,dateformat,yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss}.png

Thanks Martin.

How would one use this for taking a photo instead of a screencap? I'm working on a "lockdown command" which will put a passcode on my phone then start taking pictures when it receives a code via sms

You can use an action Take Picture to make a photo.
The action also allows to use a variable in the field 'Target File' to store the picture, for example /storage/emulated/0/picture_{triggertime,dateformat,HHmmss}.jpg
