Hello, I want to send an whatsapp message in reply to a phone ring. Thing is I want that to work even with the phone locked. IA gave me instructions to create a "fake" notification using AutoNotification plugin and assigning that to WhatsaApp. And then automate a reply to that fake notification. Problem is I cannot find this option to assign an app with autonotification created one. Not sure if this option has been removed along the years.

Hi. You can only reply to WhatsApp messages with the screen off (with the AutoNotification Reply action), sorry. You can not initiate a new conversation with the screen off. You can do it with the screen on and unlocked with the Contact Via App action. Sorry for the trouble.

Thank you for your contact.
