notification email caller ID

[BreiteGu]

I managed to have MacroDroid to send me an email when new WhatsApp messages are received.
{these are received and handled on a "secondary computer" not the initial Android device.)
Question:
Is there any way to have this message to also deliver the caller-ID (e.g. in Subject or Message Body).
Allegedly yes, but I can't find it.
Any hint / advice welcome
best regards
Gunter

@Jacob L
the "[not_title]" reply was a bit too short for me.
Moreover it did stop working all together (out of the blue).
And no messages are sent upon receipt of new calls / messages.
Any idea ??

[not_title] is the notification text. This is the text you wanted for the WhatsApp message. There is very little info on what problems you're experiencing. Some steps to take are to see the system log, the troubleshooting section and the MacroDroid wiki. These are places that give you info on what things do and how they work along with any configuration such as missing permissions.

Follow steps at dontkillmyapp.com keep MacroDroid from being killed by Android.

Check your email settings, test the action. Email providers change their config all the time and you'll have to play cat and mouse.

If you're using email why not use web.WhatsApp.com and use desktop notifications.

Make sure MacroDroid is from the play store and is updated as there's loads of bugs fixed in recent versions.

Hi there, I want to furnish an update:
It was working just fine for ~ 1 month
than, out of the blue it stopped sending the email notification (upon receipt of "newCall" or "new WhatsApp") Message all together.
Took me while to figure out it won't work with gmail.
I can't update the app
and sending a test message too fails
I did not change any of the email server settings.

I would be interested in giving web.whatsapp.com a try (it is actually running on this very Pi in the background)
but I totally fail to understand how to use this to send an e-mail notification
plus: I read plenty warning regarding getting blocked by WhatsApp if used incorrect

otherwise I would adore "MacroDroid", that's why I bought it.

and my personal "Action-Part" being an analog counter is based on the idea of receiving an notification e-mail.
