Event Context

An Event Context allows specification of an event which is needed to activate its profile e.g. SMS received, screen has gone off.

Events are a little different to other contexts because they are instantaneous whereas other contexts usually have a duration.

This means that it is nonsensical to specify that e.g. the screen brightness should be set to X for the duration of the event, so Tasker assumes that all settings actions should persist beyond the event.

For more information about specifying events, see the event edit screen.
