Plugin Event variables

Post by Serum_114 » 23 Mar 2017 14:51

Hi,

I'd like to request that the, "Plugin Event (Experimental)", include the variables obtained from the plugin. For example, I'm using, "Pushover," to receive silent commands from Google Assistant via IFTTT to execute flows. It works really well but there is no way to include variables. I prefer Pushover to SMS because I can opt to make the messages invisible and they are secure.

Hi,

Automagic supports getting variables from the plugin when the plugin implemented the required extensions as described by Tasker. Maybe Pushover just does not provide any variables to plugin hosts like Automagic.
Does the field Provided variables list anything after the plugin was configured?
You can also add a condition Debug Dialog to the flow to check if Automagic gets any variables from the plugin at all.

Regards,
Martin

Thanks Martin! I was unaware of that condition. It displayed a whole bunch of variables provided by the plugin. Now I'll be able to use assistant to do just about anything I want via Automagic.
