NFC tag scanned

An action block that waits for an NFC tag to be scanned by the user.

The fiber will pause until a tag has been scanned.

Use the Write tag in the tag section, or the Write tag block, to write tags. Don’t rely on unwritten Any type of tags, some generate a random ID every time they’re discovered, some doesn’t have an ID at all.

Tags written without a type may cause the app choice dialog to open when scanned. To hide Automate from being a choice, disable the “Detect all kind of NFC tags” option in settings. To hide any other app, e.g. the system “Tags” app, try “Disable” it in system Apps settings.
