Voice calls over Whatsapp used to have a Vibration alert, but now due to a bug this does not happen on certain phones like mine even after all vibrate settings are turned ON. So when there is an incoming call over whatsapp, it shows up on screen but the phone does not vibrate in silent mode. This can be very difficult when your at office or in a meeting where you cant have your phone in general mode. So to solve this issue I tried using the "Autonotification - Intercept" to detect Incoming voice call text using the %antext and added a Vibrate task when the matching text is intercepted. But the problem is that the vibrate task is set to run for 30s so even if i answer the call, the phone keeps vibrating for full time set. I want the vibrate task to stop as soon as I answer the call. How do I do that, please help as I am missing a lot of calls due to this bug and I know tasker is my best option.

You could try creating another Profile>Event>Phone Offhook

and then assign it a task with the action Task>Stop and under Task place the name of your Task where the field has the faded word Optional.

Hope this helps!

Create a 2nd AN Intercept profile, but choose action type Cancelled (your first profile should choose Created), then stop the 1st profile's entry task. Make sure you name that task. This takes care of when a call is dropped/dismissed.

If a call is answered, you need to create a 3rd AN Intercept profile to take care of that. I believe %antext will match "Ongoing voice call". Stop the 1st profile's entry task.

It did not work, I am not sure if Phone Offhook works for app calls over the internet. I created a second profile with Event as "Phone Offhook" then for task I added a Stop and pointed at my earlier running task. I answer the call but the earlier task triggered by the incoming call keeps running

Thank you very much. . . . . Three profile logic worked perfectly. . . .I am new to Tasker so was not aware of the AN Intercept "Created/Cancelled" concept.
