How to Trigger MacroDroid Notifications via Webhook in PConnect
Status: Closed · Asked by Steven Foster on · 0 views
Hello Steven,
Thanks for reaching out! Yes, you can trigger a MacroDroid notification from your Pabbly Connect workflow. Since MacroDroid supports incoming webhooks, the approach is to send an HTTP request from Pabbly Connect to MacroDroid's webhook URL after your calendar event is created.
Here is the general approach:
1. Open your existing workflow (the one that creates the calendar event when a new task is created).
2. In MacroDroid, create a macro with a Webhook (URL) trigger and copy the unique webhook URL it generates.
3. Back in Pabbly Connect, add a new action step after your Google Calendar (Create Event) step.
4. Since MacroDroid does not have a native integration, use the API by Pabbly (HTTP Request) action. Configure the method (GET or POST), paste the MacroDroid webhook URL, and add any parameters or body fields MacroDroid expects for the notification (per MacroDroid's webhook documentation).
5. Map the relevant details from your earlier steps (e.g., event title, date/time) into the request so your notification includes the right information.
6. Save and run a test so the request is sent and MacroDroid fires the notification on your device.
One quick clarification to guide you precisely: does MacroDroid expect the data via URL query parameters or as a JSON body? That determines exactly how we configure the HTTP Request step.
