Auto-send messages with Signal/almost any app - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Hi guys,
I recently started using Signal for communicating with some guys and needed a way to be able to send messages from Tasker without requiring any interaction. What I came up with is a way that should actually work for any SMS app that's out there!
There's a service intent "android.intent.action.RESPOND_VIA_MESSAGE" that's normally used when you decline a call and chose to send a message to the caller - and unlike all the other intents it doesn't require any user input! However being a service intent it's not possible to call it using Taskers "Send Intent" action but instead one has to use "Run shell" as root.
Task setup:
- Variables -> Variable set: Name: %smsto, To: Receipients number
- Variables -> Variable set: Name: %smstext, To: SMS text
- Add action "Run shell": Use root: Yes, Command:
Code:
am startservice -a android.intent.action.RESPOND_VIA_MESSAGE -c android.intent.category.DEFAULT -d smsto:%smsto -e android.intent.extra.TEXT "%smstext" org.thoughtcrime.securesms/.service.QuickResponseService
To make sure the event is handled by Signal I send the message directly to Signals service handling these events (org.thoughtcrime.securesms/.service.QuickResponseService) - this can be found by examining Signals AndroidManifest.xml.
If you want to use some other app for sending the message replace "org.thoughtcrime.securesms/.service.QuickResponseService" with your apps service for receiving these intents, just have a look at the apps AndroidManifest.xml and search for the service handling the RESPOND_VIA_MESSAGE action.
Have fun!

Great! However I didn't understand why you need run shell. In Tasker you can select the target: receiver, activity or service. Select service and Tasker will send the intent for you.

Nope: "Send Intent: permission denied by Android". Some service intents are restricted to system, so it's either a root shell or making Tasker a system app.

Does it allow sending 'signal' (whispersync) messages, or just SMS via Signal? Thanks!

it sends it as Signal messages. It's really the same as typing that msg in Signal.

Group messages
Thanks for this. It works great! Do you know if there is a way to have Tasker send a message to a Signal group? I've tried using the name of the group as the "smsto" number, but haven't had any luck with that.

I recreated that task. My phone isn't rooted and unfortunately it doesn't work. Is there a way without root sending with tasker signal messages?

No. See 3rd post in this thread.

For auto replies on messengers like Signal, it would be easier to just use an AutoResponder app like this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tkstudio.autoresponderforsignal

It seems to send a signal message to an individual number. If %smsto="Group Name" it tries to send an unsecured message to the group

Is there any update on that matter in terms of sending messages zu groups?

Potentially there is an easier way,
You could use the AutoShortcut app from the same dev as tasker, to do the same thing. @niko26 it can handle groups as well. Although at least for telegram but I have not tried it for signal yet as I will be switching over to that soon.
EDIT: Forgot to mention
You can pair this with Autoinput to handle writing and sending messages.

Does this still work? I've read a few ratings on the play store which mention that it doesn't work with android 10.
Were you already successful with Autoinput?

That is a good point,
I can confirm both apps still work, I use them at least once a day. The only trouble I have had is the actions timeout. This can be solved by increasing the timeout of the actions.
I am on android 11 by the way.

@niko26
The 1st action is to make the timeout consistent across all following actions that require it
2nd action makes sure that there is an active connection to the Internet. Will automatically enable data if wifi is off (thinking I might be better off with it if connected to an SSID)
3rd action accounts for, screen off and unlocking the device (can potentially be a security risk!)
4th action load specific chat within the app, in this case, it is WhatsApp and a group chat I selected. Using a plugin called AutoShortcut, see my previous post for link
5th and 6th action uses Autoinput, to write specific text in the group (the sixth one is just an additional one that needs to be sent on some days but not all at a specific time) Autoinput is also used for following actions up to action 8
7th action is to account for the removal of the additional link info that is included in the previous two actions, by clicking on the cancel button.
8th action then clicks on the send button.
9th action is to account for when I am using my device before the task is executed. So it switches back to the app that I was using.
10th action is to turn off data if I am out and about whilst travelling.
11th action, may not be necessary needed, I put it here just in case of the current task continues to run.
I hope this helps!

@HatchetEgg - any chance that you can export this task somehow so I can see all the details?

Block SMS on the kaiser

ifs there a program to block sms on windows mobile? i got call firewall for calls but would like a program for sms. any help is brilliant thank you
Symantec recently released their "Norton Smartphone Security" software that includes mobile anti-virus, mobile firewall, SMS anti-spam, and LiveUpdate. Using the Antispam feature you can create blacklists or whitelists that will effectively block SMS.
Not exactly what you want, but I highly recommend SecretSMS.
Once you input a number that you are getting bothersome SMS from, all SMS from that number will go into the SecretSMS inbox (which can be password protected). The only notification you see on you phone is the screen lights up. Then once in a while clear your Secret SMS inbox
I am using (VERY SUCESFULLY) the Magic Call. It's brilliant.
What I like about it that not only blocks any unwanted SMS, but it can also send an SMS to the person(s) sending those unwanted messages.
It's a life saver.

I realize this is like MONTHS late, but in answer to your questions, Yes and Yes.
I just DL'd and installed this SW yesterday, after trying out several alternatives. This was the only one that worked nice and smoothly on my device.
If you decide to allow callers to leave a voicemail, you WILL get that icon at the top of the screen. But it seems to successfully "eat" the actual notification, so that, for instance, phoneAlarm does NOT sound its alarm for a waiting VoiceMail.
It also deletes the calls from your call history, if that matters to you.
FWIW, I also tried Call Firewall, but didn't like it because 1) when it starts, it shows its GUI screen for a few seconds, even when using the "startup" parameter, 2) blocked calls still rang once on my device before being intercepted, and 3) reportedly it hangs up on calls-in-progress if a blocked caller tries to get through. I need this application to be more secure than this.
In addition, I tried smartblock_ppc22. That one installed nicely, but didn't work at all on my device. I read that it has issues with WM6. Although it installed and ran without any error messages, I could not get it to block calls at all.
Anyway, I know this is late, but maybe it'll help somebody.

PowerSMS [beta]
6 useful text messaging utilities in 1 cool app.
Overview
PowerSMS is a mobile application for people who love text messaging. It enables a number of interesting communication scenarios, which are either cumbersome or impossible without it.
PowerSMS does not replace your phone's built-in text messaging features. Instead, it works with the same folders and messages you already have. It's simple, performs tasks quickly, and gets out of the way. Use PowerSMS to improve communications with your family, friends and colleagues, and they'll wonder how you do it!
Features
•Note to Self: Need to capture a thought or send yourself a reminder? With PowerSMS, there's no fumbling around to type your own phone number or search for a contact.
•Group Message: Texting the same set of people over and over again? PowerSMS lets you create groups of contacts, and drastically reduces the number of clicks required to text them
•Auto Reply: Ever ignore a phone call while you're in a meeting or movie theater? Let PowerSMS respond to those calls automatically with a text message, thus politely letting them know when you'll call back
•Schedule SMS: Schedule greetings or reminders in advance. PowerSMS will automatically send the message even if you forget. Especially appreciated by loved ones
•Cool Stats: Let PowerSMS analyze your messages and tell you interesting things like when and with whom you text the most over a given period. Just for fun or to verify your bill
•Backup & Restore: Switching phones? Just need to get rid of old messages? PowerSMS will help you archive, transfer or export messages to your computer or to another phone
Screenshots
Looks pretty cool... The schedule SMS feature is what got my attention!
Looks great. Will try it but have a couple of questions:-
Does it take away the WM6.1 threaded SMS feature if you install it?
Does it uninstall cleanly and leave the original SMS functionality completely restored?
I had to uninstall it. For whatever reason, if I received a call, with the auto reply SMS feature installed, it would come up and say "problem with WM 6.1 voice command, please restart voice command and try again".
Probably something on my end, but won't have time to track it down until the
weekend.
this is a truly amazing app. ive been looking for something like this for a while. great find!

ans 1....Not it doesnt, it's a standalone program hence doesnt integrate with the WM6.1 messaging system. It has to be launched separately.
ans 2...becos it's a standalone program, it uninstalls cleanly.
This program is awesome, but i have one question that maybe someone can answer.
Does this allow sending to an unlimited number of contacts at once? or does it only send off as many as the PPC can handle?
I have to send text messages throughout the day to several people at once, and if i get to more than twenty something contacts, the text will fail.
Thanks in advance.
nice app... annoying nag when starting.
threaded sms or no?

Thanks!
Wow - this is a very useful little program.
It's worked flawlessly on my Tilt. Very pleased.
i downloaded it and installed it, it said beta version has expired! soo where can i get one that works?

[APP] IM Buddy -[R]- 12/21/2010 -[U]- 2/1/2011 -[V]- 1.11

Name: IM Buddy
Hi. Developer for IM Buddy here.
**** Limited Time Offer ****
**** Price drop to $1.99 ****
I am an avid user of Yahoo Messenger, and was disappointed that it did not exist for my Samsung Focus. And thus IM Buddy was born. IM Buddy uses published SDKs to talk directly to Yahoo's server. As such, there is no middle-man involved and your information is kept confidential. This does have the drawback of not being able to utilize push notification since that would need done thought a middleman server. The panorama controls have been utilized to give IM Buddy a WP7 look and feel.
Please note: WP7 currently does not allow background processes for 3rd party apps.
Features at a glance:
Allow Connect on Start (AutoLogin)
Allowing viewing of offline contacts
Receive and display offline messages after signing back in
Display of online contacts image in contact window
Display of contact image in chat window
Option to Logoff on Close (instead of appearing online)
Toast-like notifications
Allow user to change presence status
Autocomplete/word correction enabled
Use chat keyboard to utilize smileys shorcut
Message timestamps (grouped to save screen space)
Allow user to send a BUZZ
link to online FAQ page added
Additional features on the paid version:
Text to Speech on incoming messages
Customizeable panorama background (theme based otherwise)
Audible on incoming message
Signin as Invisible
v.1.11
Fix session timeout
Add Text-To-Speech (paid version)
v.1.10
Add clearer error messages
Add images to contact window
Add a way to show 'help/FAQ' from website
Please let me know what issues you guys are having.

Some suggestions:
When the application closes (user presses Start button), make the app remember open chat windows in that session and last few (if not all) messages during that session.
When user goes back to closed IM Buddy session by pressing Back button, display saved chat windows/previous messages
If possible, have the app display messages received while offline.
The suggestions above in addition to auto-login (or auto relogin) are useful workarounds to WP7's lack of background support.
Display the X button on pages where it actually does something (chat window)
Make error messages more informative --- Auth failed, Poll failed
Right now the YM mobile website is more reliable for me even if I have to do a page refresh to get latest messages since I can keep track of recent messages, and messages received while offline.
V1.2 has just been approved and is now on the marketplace.
Offline messages should be displayed as soon as you login.
I'll look at saving a few of the messages on close. Was already planning to move the X button just as you said.
I checked out v1.2. Displaying received messages while offline is erratic. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
One time, even while I was already online, I didn't receive any messages, not before I sent a message to the user using IM Buddy. Only then did I start receiving new messages, but I lost all the other messages.
Logoff on close only works when exiting the app with the back button. Using the Start button doesn't logoff the user. Is that by design?
Thanks for the feedback.
I'll check on those issues. I haven't noticed either.
At version 1.0, it always close the other conversation instead of which I choose to close. Did you fix that "funny" bug?
At 1.2, the performance is not really smooth
Just found the close chat window bug. fix will be in 1.3
Just checked the Logoff issue. It seems to occur randomly. It appears that the application is not gettting enough time to complete to transaction to the Yahoo server always.
I will remove 'Logoff on Close' option until I can get a better handle on the timing. You will be in the last status before you leave the app.
V.1.3 will allow you to select from several Status options
I keep getting Update notice, but when I go thru the steps to update, it still says there is an update.
Marketplace: 1 update, tap, Goes to IM Buddy, tap Updated All, Loading, Pending, installing application.. repeat.
Hi. I've seen this before, with other apps as well. The quick solution is to uninstall and install the new version.
This might be a stupid question, but I paid for the app. Does uninstalling it mean I have to buy it again? (this will be the first paid for app I will be uninstalling)
According to MS it should reecognize you have previously purchased the app. See link below
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2434864
"According to MS" Yeah, I've read that article a few days ago, but I have read other posts elsewhere that says it doesn't. Oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
v.1.3 is on its way. Just waiting for market approval.
Fix close chat window bug
Allow user to send a bug report email
Allow user to change presence status
Autocomplete/word correction enabled
Use chat scope to add smileys shorcut
Enter key sends out message in chat window
Add message timestamp, in groups
Add background to chat bubbles
Allow user to change panorama background (paid version)
Disable Logoff on Close (till further notice)
@babyjustine: do you plan to add other Protocolls to it? like AIM/ICQ?
Jabber/xmpp/google would probably be next in line with regards to other protocols... But I need to perfect the YM part first.
v.1.3 is now live on the MarketPlace!

I downloaded the trial, and when I try to change my status to "online" or anything else, it still says "IM Buddy on WP7" by my ID in the contact list.
Hi.
Thanks for trying out my app. I just did a test with the trial, and I am seeing my status change. Did the app error out (maybe due to some network error) on you, and let you upload a Bug Report?
Thanks,

Hey my friend.
Hope you still reading these threads. I LOVE the app, tested it with the LITE version and it's perfect. So good that i was prepared to pay 5€ for it.
So i've bought it couple days ago, installed it and try to run it. LITE version worked without a problem(even on my very old phone Xiperia ARC), but the FULL one keeps telling me: "License error ..." and it closes itself immediately.
How can there be a LICESNSE error when i bought it legaly, trough Play Store and installed it trough it also.
Can you help me maybe? I need the FULL version function that sends message when my phone has low battery. That is why i bought it!
Thanky you my friend.

[GUIDE] Read SMS Aloud & Respond by Voice When Connected to Car Bluetooth

I saw the other thread on reading aloud the SMS when connected to your vehicles Bluetooth and though I'd share mine for those who want to be able to respond by voice commands. I'm not trying to upstage that author, but giving other options.
Steps:
1. Wait 2.5 seconds to allow your text message tone to complete
2. Read sender and message body
3. Wait 1 second
4. Ask if you would like to reply
5. If "yes", it will ask you what you want to reply
6. Send message recorded by voice
I've uploaded the profile which includes the Task required for this to function.
You will need to edit the Profile "State" section to select the Bluetooth name in your vehicle. To do this, tap on the Profile and select the "State" that says "Connected to _____". Once in here, delete the one I've got selected and select the Bluetooth you want to activate this part of the Profile.
Hopefully this is useful to someone. Let me know if you have questions.
Can you walk me through on how to import this into tasker
Long press the "Profiles" tab. The option will appear when you let go.

You'll want t export the .zip file to /sdcard/tasker/profiles
Then you can launcher tasker and tap the "Profiles" tab. You should see this menu show up.

I saw the other thread on reading aloud the SMS when connected to your vehicles Bluetooth and though I'd share mine for those who want to be able to respond by voice commands. I'm not trying to upstage that author, but giving other options.
Steps:
1. Wait 2.5 seconds to allow your text message tone to complete
2. Read sender and message body
3. Wait 1 second
4. Ask if you would like to reply
5. If "yes", it will ask you what you want to reply

Never mind, I figured it out. Does anyone have problems with voice recognition over the car's Bluetooth?

I'm having that problem too. I just tested it out in my car and I love this task but when it ask me do you want to reply I say yes but I'm looking at my phone and it says could not recognize. Is there anyway to fix this?
Also I had my music playing from my phone when I was testing the text. Does the text when read come from the phone speakers or the car speakers because it sounds really soft. Is there a way to make the voice text louder?

How can I modify this to speak other notifications, like from Google Voice or Hangouts messages? And not through BT, just when the phone is used normally.

Thank you for this! I will give it a try....I missed the reading of txt messages function from Cortana coming from a windows phone.
Is there any way to get the this task to listen for a response from my android wear watch? If my phone is in my pocket I can't reply and that defeats the purpose..
Apparently it only reads SMS. Is it possible to have it read WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, etc?

Try this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CALWGiG0wJo
It worked for me for the Google Voice app.
I like this task, but I can't get it to listen to my responses. So it reads each text that I receive only, but then when the prompt comes up to say "do you want to reply" it doesn't recognize anything I say.

I love this!
I do have a question, is there a way to have the reply message read back to me to confirm the dictation is correct before sending and if it's incorrect to ask to create a new reply?
Wont read through bluetooh
my car wont read this through my bluetooth even though im connected. Is it because my honda doesnt support A2dp?
