It's a little bit like a normal function in most programming languages. You would call the function and pass data to it at the same time. As far as just simply calling a function, that is the same as calling a macro. We can just launch a shortcut from KWGT and just run the right macro, but we...

That's one way I agree, but I didn't want any user interaction. I would have the extra data already to send along to the macro I was calling or working with.

At the moment it's just simple text, maybe just a word. I only want to have one macro but be able to send different text to it from KWGT. I'm not quite sure how that's done from your video.

Well, having used this for a day it is not perfect at all. The intent doesn't seem to want to fire on repeated taps of the widget. About a minute or so later it will fire again when tapped. Quite random. Also, when in the Kustom widget editor and just selecting the widget to edit, the intent...

Crap, I took screenshots and forgot to add them.

Well it looks like I can now pass data from KWGT to MD via broadcast intent. It's not as pretty as I would have hoped but it seems to work albeit after a fashion. It ended up being a mix of so many different ideas that in the end it was found by accident. Perhaps the answer was already out...

I'm not sure it does work both ways. Ideally, I would like to do it easily. I can tap on a KWGT widget which will then launch a shortcut that fires a MD macro. This macro can be used to send a variable back to KWGT but that is not what I want to do. I would like to trigger a shortcut but send...

The KWGT send variable plugin is for sending data from macrodroid/tasker to KWGT. It doesn't work the opposite way as far as I can tell

Not really sure what that is

Which works beautifully, but I am trying to send a broadcast intent from KWGT to MD. I have already setup a MD macro to receive the intent but I am unsure as to how to construct the intent URI inside KWGT.

As mentioned right at the very beginning of the thread, I want to send data from KWGT to MD, not from MD to KWGT. I have already played with sending data from MD to KWGT using the same method as you have shown above. I have also launched macros in MD from KWGT via simple shortcuts. All that...

Sounds like they need to be asked again 😁

Is that a thing?

Yes, KWLP and KWGT are both made by Kustom. Quite a few more too besides for lock screens and smart watches

I forgot to mention that I know there a third party apps that have URI interfaces that can act as a go between scheme to talk to, but it seems a lot for just a bit of extra data
