Overview of triggering macro


Unlike the scheduler of macro, trigger does not have to be based on a moment in time. It may be based on one or more system events. Whenever, a system event occurred and a macro has been triggered with it, the macro will be launched automatically.

Macro Expert provides many trigger options for you, the following is the list of available options:

  • Idle Trigger

  • Launches the macro when your computer enters the idle(no keyboard and no mouse input) state for the specified period of time.

  • Startup Trigger

  • Launches the macro when a user is logged on windows, or windows is started.

  • System Trigger

  • Launches the macro when a system event is occurred, such as time is changed, display resolution is changed, and etc.

  • Resource Trigger

  • Launches the macro when a system resource event is occurred, such as free disk space is low and etc.

  • Driver Trigger

  • Launches the macro when a removable driver is inserted into the computer or removed from the computer.

  • Dial Trigger

  • Launches the macro when a remote access connection is established or terminated.

  • Window Trigger

  • Launches the macro when a window is opened, closed, activated or deactivated.
