The web dashboard
Signing in at macroforge.net/dashboard with the same account gives you a view of your automation that the phone cannot practically show: several devices at once, history over time, and things that should keep happening while you are nowhere near the app.
The Help menu in the app links straight to it.
Devices
Every device signed in to your account, whether it is online or offline, and what it is doing right now. From here you can Start a macro on any of them, Stop one that is running, Resume a paused run, or Sign out a device you no longer use.
Starting and stopping remotely is a feature. Seeing the table and signing devices out are not, so you can manage your device limit on any plan. This is covered in more detail under .
Statistics
How much your macros have actually run: lifetime total, your current and longest streak, an average, and a breakdown of run time by macro. Useful for working out which macro is doing the work and which one you built and never touched again.
Cloud macros
The macros backed up from your devices through , listed in a browser. Back up a macro from the app and it appears here.
Automations
Device actions that happen without you. Two kinds:
- Schedules. Start or stop a macro once, every day, or every week. This is how you get a macro running at a fixed time without leaving the app open on a timer.
- Incoming webhooks. A private URL that starts or stops a macro when something calls it, so another service can trigger your phone.
Webhooks
The other direction: MacroForge sends an HTTP request when a macro starts, finishes or fails. Add an endpoint URL, which must be https, choose which events it should hear about, and narrow it to particular devices or macros if you want.
There is a Delivery log so you can see what was actually sent and whether it arrived, which is the first thing to check when an integration goes quiet.
One thing that catches people out: the device filter matches the device name as it is reported in run data, which is the manufacturer and model together. If a filter never fires, check it against a real delivery in the log rather than against the name shown elsewhere.
