I'm using a macro to send a SMS when an application launches. I want it to only send the message when the app initially launches, but it's also triggering the macro when I switch between applications. For example, if I want the message to send when spotify is launched, it's also sending when I switch from macrodroid to spotify to macrodroid. How do I prevent this issue?

Android no longer permits (non-Google) apps to determine if other apps are running in the background.
It may not be appropriate but you could set up some kind of timer such that if you switch back to spotify within a certain time frame (e.g. 5 minutes) then it will not fire, but if the time is over 5 minutes it will fire.
