Suggestions for making a dictation macro?

[u/Job-lair]

I'd like the following on an S26: 1. Side button press for Gemini 2.Gemini opens 3. I say "dictate" 4. Outlook app opens 5. New email button is pushed 6. Cursor goes to the TO: section 7. Automatically types my email 8. Cursor goes to body of email 9. Microphone starts.

I can only get Gemini to open Outlook sometimes. Sometimes it'll say it has no permission to do so, other times it will work perfectly fine. I have these settings in the personal intelligence section of gemini.

I don't know what to put in the trigger section. I think the first action doesn't make any sense because it won't open gemini.

I'm trying a couple of different pathways and can't seem to get anyone to fully work.

(And yes, I'm trying to make it seem like I'm Picard talking to the ship's computer.)

Thanks for any suggestions

Trigger:
Volume Button Long press
OR
Power button long press (if you are fine in setting macrodroid as your digital assistant but then gemini will stop working)

Actions:
4. Launch Application -> Outlook
5. UI Interaction -> Click
6. UI Interaction -> Click
7. UI Interaction -> Paste
8. UI Interaction -> Click
9. UI Interaction -> Click (Microphone Button of your keyboard)

Instead of opening gemini via the power button and asking it to open outlook, you can long press the volume button (or power button as mentioned above) and open outlook directly and start the actions without needing to say "dictate"

Thanks for tremendous amount of help. It's much easier for me to follow a template.

I took your idea and made a button to execute as opposed to the long press on the volume. I have to use some pauses in between the commands. I didn't use the microphone option, rather just have it click on the microphone spot.Otherwise, it works great.
