-The //[[token:MacroNameForUUID|%MacroNameForUUID%]]**uuid**%//​ token returns the name of the macro or macro group with the specified **UUID**. ​ If the macro does not exist, then this will return the empty string so you can use it as a simple test for the existence of a particular macro.+====== ​MacroNameForUUID ​Token ======
  
-===== See Also =====+This [[:​Tokens|token]] returns the name of the macro or macro group with the specified **UUID**. ​ If the macro does not exist, then this will return "Not Found" so you can use it as a simple test for the existence of a particular macro.
  
-----+===== How To Use ===== 
 + 
 +==== General Form ==== 
 + 
 +**The general form of this token is**:\\ 
 +`%MacroNameForUUID%<​UUID>​%`\\ 
 +where `<​UUID>​` is the explicit Macro Universal ID, like "​4ADD4CEB-D07C-4095-B06B-D01C48E3D82C"​ 
 + 
 +You can put this token in any [[:​Actions|Action]] that has a text field, like a [[action:​Display_Text|Display Text Action]] or a [[action:​Set_Variable_to_Text|Set Variable To Text Action]], like this: 
 + 
 +{{:​token:​km-7.2-macronameforuuid-action.png?​nolink|}} 
 + 
 +==== Using with a Variable ==== 
 + 
 +**However, if you want to use the UUID that is in a Keyboard Maestro Variable**, then it will require two Actions, because this token does not directly support the use of Variables:​ 
 +  - Set a Variable to the MacroNameForUUID token with a Variable token for the UUID, as text, so that the MacroNameForUUID token is not evaluated, but the Variable token is evaluated 
 +      * For example:​\\ ​ `%%MacroNameForUUID%%%Variable%myUUID%%%` 
 +      * When the Action is executed, the Variable will be:\\  `%MacroNameForUUID%4ADD4CEB-D07C-4095-B06B-D01C48E3D82C%` 
 +  - Filter that Variable to process the token, now that the Variable has been evaluated. 
 + 
 +{{:​token:​km-7.2-macronameforuuid-with-var.png?​nolink|}} 
 + 
 +The result of these Actions is: 
 + 
 +{{:​token:​km-7.2-macronameforuuid-results.png?​nolink|}} 
 +
