    Is it possible to display a Macrodroid notification with a different app name, or no app name at all?

    If you're looking to incorporate the original notification's app name, into a new notification created in MacroDroid, though, would something like the following work?:

    Compressing files to maintain creation dates

    It might be worth looking into installing Google Drive Sync on your PC. I am pretty sure it writes new files that it finds in your Google/Android cloud account, with creation dates that match those files' dates in the cloud. And you'd have to configure the sync utility to sync images/videos as...

    Are there letters in the name?

    Use a regular expression of [a-zA-Z]: See regex101.com for a great introduction and testing platform for regular expressions.

    Set DND but allow media volume?

    Depends on that app, and what setting(s) it looks at to hide its notifications. If it looks at the ringer volume setting, then it'll probably work. If it doesn't work, you could try: Using MacroDroid's Priority Mode "Alarm Only" instead of "Block All" option. That leaves the media volume...

    Set DND but allow media volume?

    Instead of using Do Not Disturb, could you just set the ringer and notification volumes to 0 to mute? (restoring to prior values with the next shake)

    Dictionary/Array contain

    Not a phone, technically -- a Chromebook. I use that to create most macros for screenshots on this forum, since it has a full-size keyboard, bigger screen, mouse, etc. etc. Much faster to type, than on an actual phone. The MacroDroid app works just fine for most actions when running within...

    Action based on the number of taps on floating icon

    You could use a MacroDroid StopWatch as in the attached.

    Adding 24 hour clock input to an alarm setting macro

    Something like the attached could work to prompt for your minutes-until-alarm value, allowing both a straight number of minutes, or a time in the form of HH:MM. It calculates the number of minutes until that time, if it sees that the time value has an embedded colon. It's pretty basic, but you...

    Text Manipulation Actions: regex behaving unexpectedly

    Try Regex: (\d\d)[: ]0(\d) and replacement text: $1 oh $2 The $n says "output the incoming matching group #n". Note that Regex101 allows you to test substitutions as well as matching; click the "Substitution" link in the left navigation area.

    MacroDroid and OAUTH examples

    Thanks for clarifying. Does the email address shown in MacroDroid's Settings > EMail Settings look correct? And do you have any permissions denied to MacroDroid (in Android's Permissions settings screen for the app)? If all that looks good, one thing you could try which might provide additional...

    MacroDroid and OAUTH examples

    In your Send Email action, did you choose Gmail or SMTP? That "AuthenticationFailedException" error in your log looks like it might have come from an SMTP attempt. I have always used the GMail option...

    MacroDroid and OAUTH examples

    A good question; unfortunately, I don't know the answer. I think the scheme is normally that an app will request access to a user's Google account the first time it's needed, and after that, assuming a user granted access, everything's fine. I'm not sure how to force MacroDroid to re-request...

    MacroDroid and OAUTH examples

    You shouldn't need to use OAUTH to send an email from MacroDroid, as long as MacroDroid is the current Play Store version and you've authorized it as an authorized "Third-Party Service" on your Google account. To see if that latter aspect is in place, Go to myaccount.google.com/ in your...

    Constraints

    Couple options... a) 2 second delay That "Wait" action is in Macros / Wait before next action. The loop scheme suggested by @Dm114 would look like so: b) "Wait until" airplane mode is on A variant of that would be to use the "Wait Until" action, similar to @dhj49er 's suggestion, but using a...
