Using Tasker with BuzzKill

By using the Tasker action inside of BuzzKill you can trigger any Tasker task when you get a specific notification.

Setup a task in Tasker

Before you start you'll need to have setup the task you want triggered inside of Tasker. This can be anything you want. Some variables will be available to you from the notification. These are:

Variable Purpose
%title The title of the notification
%message The content of the notification
%package The package name of the application, can be found in the URL of the app. For WhatsApp it is "com.whatsapp"
%app The name of the app that is shown on the home screen

Enable external access

In Tasker, go to preferences and enable "Allow External Access", this lets BuzzKill access the list of tasks you have available in Tasker.

Setup in BuzzKill

When creating a rule, choose the "Trigger Tasker" action. It will then ask for the name of the task you want to trigger from Tasker.
