Add the option to save trigger data to a variable

[Abalsam]

It would be good for troubleshooting purposes and for more in-depth processing to enable the user to save the trigger inputs to variables (prior to macro initiation). For example, for the sms received trigger, permit the user to save both the source # and text to variables which the macro can then see and process.

*After* the trigger is added the macro, add the Set Variable action and then select from the ... options.

Thank you I learned something new! Is this generally true for triggers or only some triggers? Thanks

Certainly not all, as many triggers don't involve that kind of content.

Was not assuming all but was looking for a general rule of thumb such as triggers involving external traffic should have values available....

I'm afraid I don't have a list, but generally I think the answer is yes, if it makes sense to have, you'll probably find it's been implemented.

Do note that actions will only show the relevant options for triggers that are already present in the macro.

Got it thank you. However, I just observed something weird while playing around with triggers and variables (see my post in help).

Thanks
