Automagic Forum

Hi,

I'm new to Automagic and I'm trying to migrate away from Automate and stuck on how to convert this block:


With Automate I had to use their "App decision" block because the normal one "Start activity" would, due to a bug apparently, not populate the source application name and so my OpenVPN app would set the trusted app name to "nul". It seems the "Start activity" in Automagic suffers the same way. Here is where I reported the issue https://github.com/schwabe/ics-openvpn/issues/1018 and this is what happens, note there is no mention of Automagic:


So can anyone help me with how to do this correctly in Automagic?

Oh, this is different version of openvpn than the more famous one.

Action : android.intent.action.MAIN
Package : de.blinkt.openvpn
Class name : de.blinkt.openvpn.api.ConnectVPN
extras : But it seems the app implement restriction using AIDL. I don't know how to grant it properly except from the openVPN app itself. I will try and see if it can be done.

For me as an advanced user I think it's a better application: http://ics-openvpn.blinkt.de/FAQ.html#f ... ents_title

I think I found it, by also ticking the box "Wait for result" the subsequent execution caused the pop up to appear with the name correctly showing, and now it's registered as an allowed app:

Many thanks for the help, and now I can move on migrating more of my flows.
