In this very simple example we'll learn how to send a "say hello" command from Google Assistant to Tasker and make Tasker show a small toast with the text Hello from Tasker

This is how it'll look like in the end:


For this you'll need:

• Google Assistant on your phone or on Google Home
• An IFTTT account
• Join Android App
• Tasker Android App
• AutoApps Android app (Alternatively you can use the Join Command condition on step 3)

STEP 1 - CREATE RECIPE ON IFTTT

• Go to https://ifttt.com/
• Click on My Recipes
• Click Create a Recipe
• Click on the big this
• Type Assistant
• Select Google Assistant
• Select Say a simple phrase
• Under What do you want to say? write say hello
• Under What do you want the Assistant to say in response? write Ok, saying hello through Tasker!

STEP 2 - SEND COMMAND TO JOIN

• Click the big that
• Search for Webhook
• Select the Webhooks Channel (IFTTT renamed it from Maker as seen in the video)
• Select Make a Web Request
• Go to https://joinjoaomgcd.appspot.com/ and select the device that has Tasker. Then select Join API
• In the Text field write say hello
• (Not in video) Reveal your API Key by clicking the big SHOW button. This will reveal both your API Key and your Join URL
• Copy the URL in the URL field
• Paste the URL in the URL field on IFTTT
• On IFTTT Set Method to GET
• Click on Create Action
• Click on Create Recipe

Now, whenever Google Assistant hears a command with the words say hello it'll send your device a Join push with the text say hello. That command will then be redirected to Tasker if you have it installed.

STEP 3 - CREATE PROFILE TO REACT TO "SAY HELLO"

• Create a new profile in Tasker
• Use the Event -> plugins -> AutoApps Command condition

Alternatively you can use the Join Received Push condition here. Use the Text section in the condition.

• Set the Command Filter to say hello
• Enable the Exact option
• Accept and create a task

STEP 4 - SHOW TOAST

• In the Task add a Flash action with the text Hello from Tasker!

STEP 5 - TEST

If you now open Google Assistant and say say hello the toast from Tasker should appear!

NOTE: It seems that sometimes IFTTT takes a bit longer to update Google Assistant with a new voice command. If that happens try to wait a bit and then try the voice command again after a few minutes
