[PF] How to make a token action roll to the GM only but still using a border

So currently some of my friends wanted to play a campaign and I volunteered to DM since I want the practice and experience. We are using Pathfinder for characters with a mix of 3.5. The character sheets I have selected are for Pathfinder Simple version, since I thought the other one was way to complicated for me and a few other players. Now what I want to figure is how to set a token action roll as a gmroll but still be able to use a template. So basically this is the macro I want to turn into a gmroll  &{template:default} {{name=Perception}} {{Perception:=[[1d20 + 2 ]]}} I want to keep the template though. Is there anyway to do that or? Much help needed please!
Simply put /w gm at the beginning of the macro
Thank you sir your a genius!
Follow up question now if you can answer it or if anyone else can. Lets say I decided to stick with the more advance sheet for PF and wanted to make a token action for an npc golbin replicating the attack on the sheet. Ive tested a few things out but cant figure it out exactly so heres some pictures to help you understand what I mean Now what I want to do is replicate that Crossbow Macro on to my token action, reason being is because when I roll it instantly sends it as a gmroll to me So what would I have to type in to get that to happen. Ive tried a few things like  %{Goblin Archer|repeating_weapon_name} @{Goblin Archer|repeating_Crossbow_$X_Goblin Archer} but none of that and more has worked for me. Im not the best with Macros and I know this is a super messy post but if anyone could help me out I would owe you!
Marco M. said: reason being is because when I roll it instantly sends it as a gmroll to me The Pathfinder Sheet has a setting to toggle that off. From the sheet's Wiki page : By default, all sheet rolls from the NPC page are whispered to the GM only. To change whisper settings go to ( ⛭ Settings|Sheet Configuration|Roll Configuration ) You can change your Game's Character Sheet Default Settings to ensure that newly-created NPCs do not whisper to the GM only. (To apply this to existing Characters, see: Applying Setting Defaults to Existing Content In-Game ) In case you're still interested, the Sheet Rolls section of the Wiki lists the steps required to acquire the Ability call corresponding to that sheet roll button. I recommend carefully reading through the Sheet Rolls section of the Wiki . After you've learned how to acquire the Ability call corresponding to the sheet roll button you desire, do so, and then placing that Ability call within an Ability of your own creation. Then, you can toggle that Ability to become a Token Action.

there is also an attacks button which you can call from a macro, that pulls up a menu of attacks that only the gm can see, then you can roll it for buttons on other pages besides the NPC page, they use the "PC whisper" variable. Buttons on the NPC page use the "NPC whisper" variable. but if you go the settings page (the gear by the Pathfinder logo), near the bottom of the first section you can set both of them to "GM only" and it will put /w GM in front of the rolls. if you use the Pathfinder Companion API (in the dropdown) it can generate token macros for you. And you can pick which ones you want. So you can put the call to the Attacks button as a token action.
