I don't know javascript well enough to know if you can call a macro or input to the chat screen from inside a sheetworker call.

No. Pro-only workaround: you can have a sheet worker set an attribute, and listen for changes in that attribute via an API script (which can  send chat commands (and can call abilities, but not macros afaik)).

Thanks Jakob.  That's too bad.  Interesting work around, though.  May have to think about that.

Jakob said: an API script (which can  send chat commands (and can call abilities, but not macros afaik)). An API script can get the text of a macro just fine. You couldn't use sendChat('', '#my-macro'), but you could use sendChat('', myMacro.get('action')).
