- Actions (100+ Types): The tasks performed automatically. These include file management (copy/move/delete), telephony (auto-reject calls), messaging (SMS/Email/TTS), and system toggles (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Dim Screen).
- Constraints (50+ Types): Optional conditions that must be met for a macro to fire, such as specific times of day, days of the week, or device states.
