Description

This Section is recommended for advanced Tasker users.

It contains a detailed list of variables that is populated when a WhatsApp message of the corresponding TYPE is received

Based on these variables, you can setup your own Tasks that would analyze the contents of the received messages and send back automated replies.

List Of Tasker Variables

To enable receiving WhatsApp messages as Tasker variables:-

  1. Run Task "Mdtest - Start (V5)" from the "Receive Messages [MdtestV5]" Project in %mode = both
