How to click a link in a notification? - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Hello,
I use Tasker mainly for tasks concerning my bluetooth devices (e.g. headphones and car to start the music player).
Recently, I started using Android Auto in my car.
In a lot of situations, I drive and my partner searches for an address on her phone. Afterwards I have to tell Google Maps on Android Auto the address. To make this process more efficient, our idea is that my partner sends me the address through a messenger and I directly have it in my Android Auto/Google Maps.
We tried the following:
My partner sent me the Google Maps link through a messenger and the Google Assistant in my car just read out the text. Unfortunately the Google Assistant does not recognize the Google Maps link.
What I want to do therefore is:
- Use Tasker with NotificationListener Plugin
- I made a profile which listens to notifications in my messenger app. As soon as there is a text in the notification which begins with "https://maps." an action is started.
- And at this step I don't know how to continue.
Can someone help me with the actions?
I have to check the variable %nltext and click on the Google-Maps link. How do I do this?
Thank you very much.
EDIT: I found my mistake. I had to set a global variable which consists of the local variable %nltext to be able to use the split function. I thought, I could also split local variables.

[Q] Way to send address from phone to car nav?

Hi, I'm new to windows phone and loving my new Nokia 920. Does anyone know of a way to send an address found in Nokia maps or any other application to the nav system of your car? Coming from android there was an app called send2car that worked with google maps. You find where you're looking to go in google maps and then hit share and choose your car (in my case a BMW) and the car would then receive a message with the address and I would just click navigate. Very simple way of entering destinations in your nav system. Is there a way to do this on windows phone? Thanks everyone!

Android Auto Issue With Multiple Accounts

Hello,
I am logged into two Google accounts on my phones at all times. When I try to send Hangouts messages via Android Auto, it's trying to send the message from the wrong account. I actually launched Hangouts and was able to sign out of it on that account so only the correct one is logged in, however, Auto is still trying to use the other account. Is there any way to control which account Auto is trying to use for messages?
I don't think it makes a difference, but this happens when I am running Android Auto on just the phone and when I have the phone plugged into the car's entertainment system.
Thanks in advance for any help provided.
Same here. Found anything?

Google Home Integration With Google Calendars Is An Embaressment

After recently purchasing a couple of Google Home Minis I have realised that Google seem incapable of bringing their departments together to make the gadget work properly with Google Calendars. Its so embaressing as the Amazon Echo actually works better with Google Calendars .. go figure!! If anyone can offer third party integration suggestions I would be really grateful.
First thing I noticed was that if I asked for my appointments for today, tomorrow, January etc it completely ignores my all day events .... I'm in the UK and I found a workaround for this by setting the language in the Google Home app to English (United States), apparently the U.S.A get new software versions earlier, indeed after this tweak in settings the Google Assistant recognises and reads out all day events.
The above regional fix however does not offer a solution for adding an all day event. The Google assistant does not recognise ' hey google add a new all day event' it still insists on asking for a time and if you say 'all day' for the time, it does not accept - anyone have a workaround or solution for this?
One other very annoying ommission is lack of integration with Google Keep. If I access my calendar via web browser, Googe Keep is tightly integrated for lists and nots, yet the Google Home team who seem to lacking a single iota of common sense have completley ommitted the option to use Google Keep for notes, lists and shopping list. - can anyone offer a solution or workaround?
The last and equally as annoying is if I say for example 'hey google what are my appointments for January' the reply is something like 'you have 8 appointments in January, here are your first 3' - who at Google in their infinite wisdom decided that everyone on the planet will only need to hear their next 3 appointments? Actually beginning to think that the people driving Google Home do NOT have an single grain of common sense between them. - Anyone have a solution or work around?
There are some other gripes like when adding an apointment using voice I don't have the option of adding a location, which is very important quite often I find....
Apologies for long-winded post wanted to put it all out there in case anyone would like to share solutions, altertive solutions to Google Calendar or thoughts....
I second all you've said. No integration with G Suite calendars either. Had to return mine.

Logging into Google Maps

Hi guys,
is there any possible way to let me Login into my Google Maps account? That´s like the only thing I miss on my else google free phone.
Not unless someone finds a way to Install GMS on it.
The one thing you could try is to use GMaps via the Browser then you should be able to log in
I use 10.49.3 version, to have guidance (it's the latest version where I could find that guidance).
Can't login ...
Install Gspace by searching via Huawei App Gallery and you will be able to install Google Map with your account
The only problem I'm facing is that after reaching my location by navigation I can't press done to stop the navigation.
I have Maps 10.67.2 on Gspace 1.0.6.
If I open the app and set my home as destination (being home already), it's saying "welcome home" and I can press "done" (it works).

Google Home integration

I have created a task that is activated via autovoice so now I can say in my Google assistant on my phone to 'ask autovoice...' and the task activates but I want to trigger the task via my Google nest mini speaker, how do I do this.
In autovoice there is a devices screen that only lists my phone, shouldn't this also list my nest devices that are connected to the same profile?
