Help: Sending Intents from Llama to Tasker

[Meriwether_R]

I like Llama's location services much better than Tasker's. I see that Llama has a send intent action. I'd like to be able to have Llama send an intent to Tasker, so that when Llama senses a new area, it will change my "%Location" variable in Tasker to "Car," "Home," "Work," etc. I have no idea what to do with the create intent screen though. Does it matter what I put in the intent boxes on Llama, or do I just make them up? There are boxes on Llama for "Intent Send Mode," "Package Name," "Class Name," "Action," "Categories," "Data," and "Data Type" on Llama. Under the "Intent Received" condition in Tasker, it has "Action," "Cat" (x2), "Scheme," "Mime Type," and "Priority." The only ones I see that lines up between the two are Action and Categories. Do I just type something matching into Action on both to make it work? I've never used custom intents before, so I don't really know what I'm doing.

Might better to ask in a Llama group how to send an intent if you don't get an answer..... however others might know too.

I figured out that I can run app shortcuts from Llama. If I click on "Task Shortcuts" it bring up a list of all my Tasker tasks, so this works better for that.
