    Allow variable substitution be specified

    Steve Waring · 0 · Posted

    Allow the use of %(somevarname} to be the same as %somevarname so that %[somevarname}A means substitute the value of %somevarname concatenated with A, rather than substitute the value of %somevarnameA

    IE, The same as in some shell scripting languages.

    Allow variable to be set to result of search and replace

    Noel Yap · 5 · Last reply by Noel Yap

    It would be useful to perform a search and replace to a variable then place the result into another variable. Also doable, but more complicated in both implementation and use, is to allow lookahead regexes.

    A send email action could help a lot with integration with other apps and services.

    Christopher Peralta · 0 · Posted

    One use for this would be to parse text messages or notifications for dates and times, then email the message body to a task manager app (Todoist or TickTick) so they'll automatically be added to your schedule. 

    With this you could use Tasker to get total integration between a task manager app, email, calendar app, and your phone.

    I know there are some plug-ins for this, but I think it would be a very useful feature for Tasker to have natively.

    Runlog - better identification

    P C · 0 · Posted

    I think the information in the Runlog needs a bit of an overhaul.

    Specifically, I find the ID column confusing.  Maybe I'm just not reading it correctly, but you either have to be absolutely in-tune with the task, which most of us are unless the task is incredibly complex (I have a whole bunch like that), or you have to recognize what the message is trying to tell you.

    What I'd like to see is the ID reflect the number of concurrent tasks with that name, and then the step number it's executing.  Format like this:

    Master Task Instance # :

    Root based WiFi scanning

    Ian Grody · 0 · Posted

    With Android P further making restrictions to WiFi scanning and it being pitiful at best in N+ (thanks, Google), is there any chances of a root based workaround using "iw" command on the shell? This not only will allow us to perform wifi scans whenever, but will also yield far more data (WPA/WPS/HT/etc).

    Ability for inverted geofences

    Wolfgang Voigt · 2 · Last reply by Wolfgang Voigt

    I'm using tasker for years now and I'm very happy with it. But one thing Is missing I could never fix whatever I did:

    There is no option to define a Profile-Rule like "When I'm outside of that area". I know the following workaround: Define a geofence and only add an outgoing task.

    But that method brings some problems.

    1. It's not combineable with other conditions:

    I always add another condition on top of the ruleset, to make sure that the geofence is only checked when other variables have the expected value. This is important because they will be checked

    Event Monitor that performs a task when Tasker is disabled manually

    Tyler T · 0 · Posted

    If you use any Tasker permanent notifications in any of your tasks, and then decide to disable tasker while they are still showing, they can't be removed unless manually done in tasker. So it would be great if tasker had an event Monitor that would perform a task whenever tasker is dosabled manually either in app or from the quick notification buttons.

    Support of "android.intent.action.CALL"

    Igor Baydasov · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi. It would be nice to allow Tasker to intercept the "android.intent.action.CALL". I'd like to use it to make Tasker to catch call events, then wait until my Android car head-unit connects to my phone and place calls using its bluetooth connection as soon as it's established. (Head-unit and phone connect after Tasker sends through USB modem an SMS command to the phone)

    Log error toasts

    Abi · 1 · Last reply by Richard Kemp

    A menu entry right below "Run Log" called "Error Log" or similar would be nice. That way we won't have to enable full logging to see the logs of our errors (plus if we miss an error toast we can see it in the log).

    Element Position Continue Task Immediately

    Somesh · 2 · Last reply by Anthon Steiness

    How about adding an Continue Task Immediately option for Element Position so that multiple objects can be moved around at the same time.

    Also if there's a way to do that already without any extra plugins, please let me know.

    Create TaskerNET URL to access all shared files

    Mat Zolnierczyk · 0 · Posted

    TaskerNET URL allows you to share a single link to a profile|project|task It would be good to have a special URL that you can also share to allow people to see all uploaded content, with a possible way to modify the URL  should you want to deactivate the previously granted access.

    Search Action option for Literal Search (not using Regex)

    Tasker Pro · 0 · Posted

    I think sometimes the Search Action throws people off who don't know regular expressions. And sometimes even if you know regex - you want a straight/literal/exact Search/Replace.

    There should be a checkbox in the Search Action to use or not use Regex for the Search.

    As an additional example - "AutoTools > Text > Replacements" has this kind of checkbox to enable Regex.

    Increase Granularity of State> TIME>Every to seconds

    Sriram SV · 0 · Posted

    Tasker currently can only perform repeated timely tasks every 1 minute (if given every =2 minutes). Sometimes waiting 1 minute is too long for the profile to become active and Task>Wait does have concurrency issues while multiple tasks are running in parallel.

    Want this to be decreased to 1 seconds level so that tasks can poll faster and profiles get triggered at lesser times.

    Action to change another action's conditions

    Matteo · 1 · Last reply by Matteo

    My Tasker automatically ends calls from some phone numbers presenting a same pattern (End call action if %CNUM ~ /*xxxxxx*/*yyyyyy*/). I would like to add newcoming patterns without having to manually edit this condition by opening Tasker. When a new pattern is detected and is represented by %blockcall for example in the detection task, I can add it by Set %BLOCKCALL : /*%blockcall*%BLOCKCALL (%BLOCKCALL would be the already blocked patterns /*xxx*/*yyy*/) but then I can't automatically modify the End call action's condition. I would like an action in the detection task that replaces other actions in other tasks or their

    Screen that lists each profiles "Launched Task Priority"

    Tyler T · 0 · Posted

    This would be extremely helpful for people with multiple profiles and projects to help determine which profiles have priority. Could be a simple menu listing: The Names of The Profiles | Project they are under | Launched Priority. And with this list you can click each one to sort from top to bottom or vise versa [EX: Clicking "The Names Of The Profiles tab would put list in order from A-Z , clicking again would put profiles Z-A.] Or  [EX: Clicking Launched Priority would list them all 0-50, clicking again would list them 50-0.]

    Now with Profiles that are Anonymous,

    TeamDrive support for Google Drive actions

    Zachary Denny · 0 · Posted

    Business Google Accounts include the use of "TeamDrives" in addition to the standard "My Drive". TeamDrives are just like"My Drive" except they are designed more for collaboration.

    This is all part of Google Drive and it's API but Tasker seems to default to only access the "My Drive".... Please allow support for accessing TeamDrives
