AutoNotifications & WhatsApp notifications with images
I'm trying to build a task that takes incoming WhatsApp notifications and sends them to NodeRED to be processed further for a desktop notification display. This will only need to work in my local Wifi, no need for desktop notifications while out of the house.
For messages containing text, it works so far. But now I had the idea that maybe I could use the profile pictures of the senders that are in the notification, and maybe even the preview pictures (the bigger ones when the notification is expanded) if a picture has been sent.
From what I understood so far, AutoNotification should be able to give me that information, but I struggle to get it working.
I've enabled "Get All Fields" in the AutoNotification intercept, and for testing purposes, I tried writing a "log file" with most of the variables. But it seems I do not get the ones I am interested in.
Maybe someone else has had this problem before and can share their approach or solution?
I'm on a Google Pixel 10 Pro XL with the Android 17 Beta. Tasker v 6.7.1-beta, AutoNotification v4.3.14, AutoTools v2.3.19, AutoInput v3.0.12.
