Variable input for flows.

[itmam4a]

Hi,

I'm a long time Tasker user but switched to Automagic this week because it slightly more accurate and a lot more intuitive. However do have a small thing I haven't been able to figure out just yet.

Basically I have created a Custom Widget to act as a message dashboard/car ui.

The widget has 8 clickable area's and based on what area I click I send out a different message.
- "I'm leaving"
- "I'm stuck in traffic"
that kind of stuff.

Currently I have 8 flows; one for each clickable area but the only difference is the message text. So what I would like is one flow with a variable as input and set the variable based on the clicked area.

I'm probably missing something very obvious here but I can't find how to do this. Any advice on this?

Hi,

Automagic passes some variables to the flow about the clickable cell when a flow is executed by a widget clickable action.
Variables of interest might be widget_cell_x, widget_cell_y. I recommend to create a flow with one condition Debug Dialog and execute this flow for the click so you can see the actual provided variables and values.

You could build one flow that uses an action Script to get the text depending on cell coordinate.

Something like this might work (untested):
map = newMap();
addMapEntry(map, "0/0", "text 1");
addMapEntry(map, "0/1", "text 2");
addMapEntry(map, "0/2", "text 3");

text = getMapValue(map, widget_cell_x + "/" + widget_cell_y);
