AutoTools Commands

I’ve been using AutoTools commands on my dashboards for a while, and for the most part, they’re still working. The only ones I’m having problems with are when I want to send a piece of text with the command, such as this example: autotoolscommand://test=:=test. These have stopped working, and I can’t put my finger on which side has stopped working. Basically, as soon as I re-add the =:=, Tasker does not receive it, or SharpTools does not send it. I’ve even tried Url encoding “=:=” but makes no difference. Has anyone else who uses AutoTools commands come across this issue?

Thanks!

Nothing has changed from the SharpTools side of things. Keep in mind that from our side it’s just a normal hyperlink. The browser is responsible for identifying that it a specially formatted autotools:// URL and then Android takes over to open the AutoTools app and pass the details forward.

Thanks!

I think I narrowed it down to Chrome, which for some reason does not like the colon between the ==, at least on my devices. Anyway, as I use the same command but with different text after the command for Tasker to react to. I just now use autotoolscommand://12345mytext and get Tasker to strip 12345 before reacting to the text.
