Which Trigger Caused Macro to Run?

[mdman2021]

Here's another easy puzzle -- provided there is an answer.

I have a single macro containing 5 TRIGGER's. In this macro, each of the 5 triggers is "Application Launched" but each one is for a different Application. If any one of the 5 triggers is tripped then the macro will run.

So, here's what I want to do... I would like to know which trigger caused the macro to run each time it runs. Is there a Macrodroid (MD) ACTION (like maybe an "if" clause?) that will tell me which of the 5 triggers caused this macro to run? I realize I could probably manually look in the System Log to find the answer BUT I want to automatically program for this using a Macrodroid Action. I also could create 5 separate macros with ONE trigger each but I don't want to maintain 5 separate macros since the macro merely sends me an SMS saying which Application was Launched.

So, any ideas?

just a tip: ever tried opening the actions panel and typing something in the upper search bar? Like writing "IF"

As @roughnecks says, use an 'If' and 'Else if' statements to test which trigger fired.

Actually, @roughnecks comment was a little intimidating and DID NOT help. I only suspected that it could be done with an 'if' and could have spent hours (days?) digging for the answer which is why I decided to try the Macrodroid Forum.

It was @Dm114 that steered me in the right direction. Thank-you @Dm114 for confirming the trigger test could be done with an 'if'. When I built the 'if' I searched for "trigger" and the search found "Trigger Fired".

Others may find this additional explanation helpful... I wrote one 'if' for each of my five triggers. Any ONE of the five triggers could cause my macro to run. Here is just one of the five 'if' statements I wrote. The following 'if' will tell me my Macrodroid macro ran as a result of the trigger firing which checks to see if I have received any Gmail notifications from JetBlue airlines where the Gmail "Subject:" contains the text "JetBlue - Your Flight is Delayed".

If
Trigger Fired: Notification Received: Contains:
JetBlue - Your Flight is Delayed (Gmail)
Send SMS
[v=MyMobilePhoneNumber]: Email received from JetBlue. Check email.
End If

I wrote the code above, to use SMS to alert me to read my email because -- let's face it -- we all check our SMS messages far more often than our email.

lol, glad you managed to find the search function tho

Thanks for your comments.

To improve the efficiency of your macro(s), you'd rather use only one 'IF... ELSEIF[...ELSEIF][...][...ELSE]...ENDIF' statement instead of multiple 'IF...ENDIF' statements.

Good luck!
