Will this work?

I am trying to make a macro that detects if chrome didn't send notification (any), then alert me by playing a song. but the problem is the "notification not active" condition and trigger are completely broken. So I made this to detect if not notifications are not sent using "notification present" condition (pretty weird I know)

the "notification not active" condition and trigger are completely broken

I imagine you enabled the permission that allows MacroDroid to access your notifications?

I'm pretty sure the MacroDroid notification trigger is in no way broken. Perhaps the contents of the notification are not accessible (custom drawn for example).

To monitor this you can use the notification trigger with a log event action to output all the various magic text associated with a notification (press the ... button to access all the fields).

yeah, special notification access, and I made MD device administrator

yeah my bad, it was an error on my end. turns out I was misusing the notification trigger, but notification condition work (I wasn't paying attention to the slight difference between "received" and "present"
(and yeah the notification is readable tried to log it and it worked just fine)
