Tasker intergration

Tasker is a automation system for Android based on profiles that contains states and actions.

For instance when Tasker sees the bluetooth in my car it begins to reject most calls, reads texts aloud me, and sends a automated reply. Currently that reply just says I will get back to them when I reach my destination. Waze knows that destination and my ETA. I would like to send that in the automated texts. I would also like for Tasker to be able to tell Waze a destination. Using this info it would also be possible for Tasker to do events if the ETA changes due to traffic, like send a text to my wife telling her my new ETA for coming home from work.

You could also have a event passed to Tasker like "Arrived at destination" and then have actions based on that.

    There are SO many possibilities for integration with tasker. Either with tasker actions (exit waze, set a destination, stop a navigation on some tasker condition, etc) as well as conditions/events.

    I would love to get an event or condition whenever I start navigation to any or a specific destination, when my ETA is higher/lower then some value etc. I'd love to create a tasker profile that would send an SMS to a person whenever I had my destination set to that person's house and my ETA was less then 10 minutes, for instance.

    wouldn't this be covered by fine grained intents provided by Waze?

    now that there is navigation sharing we need this even more

    Agree there's a need to automate exiting/stopping Waze when leaving the car. Tasker, LLama or other "Condition then Action" tools need to be accommodated.

    Definitely be good to be able to close Waze cleanly with Tasker... Waze starts beautifully with a Tasker profile that says "if docked, bluetooth on, fire up Waze" ... would be nice to shut down with the inverse rule

    Would defenetly be great to be able to stop Waze from tasker cleanly so it is stops automatically when bluetooth from car goes down or other stimuli captured by tasker
