Hi, 

I have three times in the day where I do not receive text messages or phone calls.  I set up an autoresponder using Notification Listener as it will reply back to all of my messaging and phone apps.

My desire is to only text people once per quiet session (in case they send multiple texts in a row) and I don't want the autoresponder texts sent to my immediate family.  How do I set this up?

Also, while I have years of experience with Tasker and dozens of awesome automations, I am not a programmer at all, so if this can err on the side of ridiculously easy, I'd be grateful!

Thanks!

With that plugin do you get a variable from the notification that corresponds to the person's name?

Thank you for your contact.

Not that I can see.  I was hoping to just put something in the Tasker end of it with the specific numbers I want to prevent getting messages

You can use variables to track who called and not send an auto response. I use the following profiles to send a text if I'm on a call. When the call ends, the variable is cleared. You might be able to fashion what you need from these examples. I also call a task that calculates if it's morning, afternoon, or evening, but you should be able to ignore that part.
