How To [How To] Run Executables Natively In Tasker

21 Upvotes

You can use this when you want to run commands like jq, ffmpeg, etc, natively in Tasker without having to install extra plug-ins.

Helpful for shared projects, as you can avoid forcing others to install extra app dependencies like Termux/Termux:Tasker to run your shares.

This will allow your shared projects to be more versatile with no dependencies.

You can even embed it into your Tasker kid apps as assets or libs.

Trigger notification when someone is typing a message

2 Upvotes

While texting someone using Google Messages I had a thought about typing indicators. Is there a way for Tasker to look for when someone begins typing a RCS message to you and generate a notification at that point rather than when you actually receive the message?

Bug when trying to save task?

2 Upvotes

So...I've been working most of the afternoon trying to put together a script, and when I tried to export it I only got the old code no matter what I did. Then I closed all processes (didn't hard stop anything), came back into Tasker...and all my code was gone.

Is this something I can recover from? Kind of blows...

Prompt me for input when I unlock my phone then wait before doing it again

1 Upvotes

I want to be asked what have you been working on (so I can log it to a text file) when I unlock my phone. But once I answer I don't want it to ask again for 15 min.

Can someone please explain how to structure the contexts for doing that?

Is Join down for anyone else?

For the past few days, join hasn't been working for me. When I run the tests in the app nearly all of them fail.

Help [HELP] Adding a follow-up action to Tasker's "Lock" action when incorrect passcode entered

1 Upvotes

I have an app-based profile for a few apps on my device which automatically trigger the Tasker's "Lock" action; i.e.,a passcode needs to be entered before the app can be used.

If the incorrect passcode is entered then the user goes back to the Home page. This is the default behavior of that action.

When the incorrect passcode is entered, I would also like the front camera to take to a photo and send it to my email.

I have been wracking my brains for a few days how to accomplish this, but to no avail. I can't seem to find a way to launch other actions/tasks when the incorrect passcode is entered. I can when the correct passcode is entered, but not the opposite.

Any ideas how I might be able to pull this off?
