External automation (Tasker, MacroDroid)

Let trusted apps like Tasker send tasks to CX with RUN_TASK intents.

1 min readUpdated taskermacrodroidintentautomation

Other automation apps can start CX tasks with Android intents com.cx.agent.RUN_TASK and com.cx.agent.RUN_CHAT.

  • The feature is off by default. While off, every incoming intent is rejected.
  • You enable it and add trusted caller packages (e.g. net.dinglisch.android.taskerm for Tasker, com.arlosoft.macrodroid for MacroDroid) by asking CX ("enable external automation for Tasker"). These changes need your approval.
  • Untrusted callers are rejected. CX keeps the last 20 invocations; ask "external automation status" to see them.
