I use [Adguard](https://adguard.com/en/adguard-android/overview.html) on my Pixel 6a. After a recent major upgrade, I noticed that the app is disabled erratically. Since this behavior is unpredictable, it is difficult to capture logs precisely for troubleshooting. I did manage once to capture and send them and they are taking too long to revert, so I thought of automation as an alternative. [Adguard knowledgebase](https://adguard.com/kb/adguard-for-android/solving-problems/tasker/) suggests using Tasker set up as below. Adguard generates a password to authenticate the intent (preventing misuse by malicious apps) and this password needs to be a part of intent. **Tasker Implementation** Tasker **MacroDroid Implementation** I tried replicating the pattern in Tasker above in MacroDroid unsuccessfully. Please note that the password, package name and class are correctly entered. The action I am trying now when Adguard is running is > stop stops the protection, no extra data required; MacroDroid The MacroDroid implementation does not work. **How do I fix this?** Edit: If I change the target to *activity* instead of *broadcast*, I get this error in notifications enter image description here
