My macro automatically rolls to confirm a critical success. Can I do this for a critical failure as well?

I use the below code for my attack macros. If my attack roll is a critical, it will automatically roll the confirm using the same modifiers for the initial attack roll. Is there a way to also do this for critical failures? &{template:PFAttack}{{name=Sais' Single MH Attack}} {{subtags=+5 Adamantine, Piercing}} {{attack=[[1d20cs>19 + 7 + ?{Attack Mod|0}... {{confirm=[[1d20cs>19 + 7...
It looks like the confirmation is part of the template, so no, you can't add extra things into a template that it is not already programmed to parse for, it would ignore them. Anything additional would require an API script, which would require the creator of the game to have a Pro subscription (and someone to know how to program that in an API if one doesn't already exist, I don't play PF so I don't know).
I'm not sure if you're pulling that macro from the character sheet you're using, but there is a way to roll critical failures: Dice Reference: Critical Success and Fumble Points . I also don't play Pathfinder so I'm not sure about the rules, but to roll a Critical Fail on a roll of 3 or lower the basic roll would be: /roll 1d20cf<3 You should be able to add that into the current macro like this: {{attack=[[1d20 cf<3 cs>19 + 7 + ?{Attack Mod|0}... And FYI all that any critical roll does is change the highlight color of the displayed roll: green for a success, or red for a failure.
The macro does utilize variables from my character sheet. And I'm aware of the macro you are referring too, but as you said all it does is make the text red if you roll a number equal to or below the indicated value. What I was hoping for was a way to setup, either with the same template or a different one, that would automatically roll the critical miss confirmation like the template I'm using does with critical successes.

Ah I gotcha. Which character sheet are you using for the game?

I'm guessing that the roll template is only configured to hide/show crit_confirm results since confirming a crit_fail is done as a house-rule/variant in PF.  I'm not knocking the use of crit fails, just explaining why the template doesn't have any extra handling for it.  Depending on the exact sheet, you might be able to always include an extra attack roll for crit fails and only utilize it IF someone rolls a "nat-one" or whatever threshold...
