When I get an incoming call on my GV number, I have to "press 1" to
answer the call. This, of course, requires first opening the keypad
and then pressing 1 which is slow and awkward (especially while
driving or outdoors in bright sun!)
I'd like to have a task that responds to a gesture during an incoming
call and sends the 1 digit. I haven't seen a phone task that will
send a digit so this is probably not possible but thought I'd ask.
Perhaps there is some cool imaginative tasker work around?
Thanks,
Bob

I'm rooted and I'd like to try this as well... but what event/state is
"phone answered"?
"phone answered"?

Event > Phone > Phone Offhook
>> "phone answered"?

Why don't you disable call presentation in Google voice so you don't
have to press one to answer a call.

Phone Offhook happens for both incoming and outgoing calls. Detecting an answered incoming call would probably involve both the Incoming Call (state) and Phone Offhook (event) contexts.

If the intent is to automate pressing the "1" on EVERY incoming call, disabling the feature in Google Voice is the better way to go.

The problem with disabling call presentation is doing that doesn't
allow you to use Google Voice for voicemail, calls end up answered by
my home and work voicemail instead.

Phone offhook and incoming call works!
Using action "type 1" doesn't seem to work though, even though I am
rooted and tasker is listed with superuser privileges. It says
"action isn't allowed on this device" for some reason?

A reboot got su permissions back so this is working, thanks.

Can you post the profile for others to try out, Matt?
