Background Execution
Some actions can run automatically if Action Phrase is in the background, and some actions require Action Phrase to be in the foreground.
If a phrase's action requires that the app be in the foreground, a local notification will be sent to the device. Tapping on the notification will open the app. The phrase will be shown with the Run button, even if the Auto Run Mode setting was enabled.
You will have to manually tap on the Run button to run the actions for that phrase.
