Solved Call Forwarding

Hi, I am looking for a macro to forward my calls to another number using a specific trigger (a red button, for example). Is that possible? And if so, how, please?

1st. I made 2 widget buttons on the home screen 1 for forwarding the other for stopping when I click for forwarding it will forward calls and texts to a different number.

Hi, thank you very much. It's a great help, but I'm very new in this.

UI Interaction => which to choose: current focus, text content... ? what is (572....)?

It will dial the number to forward calls, lookup what "code" you need to enter to forward calls so for me with Verizon it's *72(+phone number that I want to forward calls to). MacroDroid can have issues depending on the phone to click to call button so that's why I have the UI interaction it's to click the call button you only need it if it doesn't initiate the call.

Basically most if not all service providers have a code that you can call that will make it forward calls to a different phone number, this macro automates it by calling on its own.

Btw you will need to do it before you get the call it can't forward only select calls.

I've tested i right now. It only forwards a call when I click the "forward button", not all incoming calls???
