Watch Face Format - Variables controllable by 3rd party apps?

I’d like to use a third party app (e.g. Tasker) to change a variable in WFF that can trigger a style change in the Watchface. The use case is for example to have the Watchface respond differently to different types of notifications received (on the phone).

Is this possible? I tried exploring changing Custom/Secure settings to change Tags on WFF, but the only Tag/variable that worked was the AM/PM setting. Unfortunately it had a long lag and would update only when the Watchface was active in the foreground, when the screen was on or touched.

Hope there are others who can share their experience as I’m coming up short … I know this can be achieved with Android Studio, but I would love to use WFF for the best impact on battery life

You would need to suggest this in an Wear group for WFF. Watch Face Format is not part of the scope of Watch Face Studio

Thanks. I don’t see a wear group in the forum, can you direct me there with a link?

I meant one of the Android Developer Communities there are some at the bottom of this site I think Reddit has something as well.
