Tasker Question

[aternie]

I am new to tasker and wanna set up a profile that will toggle on and off with a widget on the homescreen. I want the profile to, when toggled on, send any incoming calls to voicemail and then send a text to the caller to let them know I am in court. I also want the phone to go to silent mode while in the profile. I have searched the forums but found nothing on point.

create the profile:

context Phone ringing
tasks end call and send sms
in send sms, put %CNUM in the number field, and then write the message

create a tasker task widget then add the following tasks:
silent mode toggle
profile status (whatever name you gave your sms profile) set to toggle

you can do more (i don't really like using the 'set to toggle' option, and you could make the widget icons toggle) but that's probably the fastest way to get what you're after

edit: didn't actually test this soooo hopefully it works lol

Well I tested it and it works great. Thanks. I added a popup to show me that the text was sent out.
