Mute notifications whatsapp

Post by asimov62 » 10 Sep 2014 20:19

I wish that after the first notification of whatsapp, to zero the volume of notifications for a period of time (ideally 5 minutes) and after that time the volume was set to return as before. I would avoid so annoying when they get so many messages below.

Hi,

You can probably already achieve this by using a trigger Notification on Statusbar Displayed and set the phone to silent mode for a few minutes. Setting the phone to silent will also affect other apps.

You could also turn off the notification sound in WhatsApp and play a sound once every five minutes with Automagic when a notification is displayed, something like this might work (untested):
-trigger Notification on Statusbar Displayed: com.whatsapp
-action Sound
-action Sleep: 5m (allow device sleep)

When editing the flow, press Menu->Options and select Skip execution when an instance is already executing. This will ensure that the flow is only executed at maximum every 5 minutes.

Regards,
Martin
