Hi all, so I've been having this issue for some time. The whatsapp trigger just doesn't want to play ball (most of the time), sometimes it randomly works as intended which is when I click to open whatsapp the trigger will move to a selected monitor and then resize. However 90% of the time I have to move the window manually, if anyone can help with solving this that'd be fantastic, thanks.

Try setting the "Delay before checking match condition" to a higher value, like 5000ms and see if it's more consistent. Sometimes the Window Text takes a bit to apply, and DisplayFusion has already fired the trigger so it gets missed.
Is the window actually being killed and recreated when you open it, or is it just being sent to the tray and refocused?
If you change the Trigger Event to "Window Focused", does that make any difference at all?
Ok, we'll do some more testing here to see what we can find out.
When we test here, it seems to work consistently. Would you be able to send a video of it on your machine so we can make sure we're testing correctly?
Thanks!

Hi, I am not sure how to screen record two monitors at once so I've attached a video showing monitor 2 where whatsapp is supposed to trigger. Then I've attached a screenshot of it opening on monitor 1 (the incorrect place) and then a screenshot after I've manually moved it to monitor 2 after the trigger has failed.

Interesting, I'm wondering if it has to do with that custom start menu. What utility are you using for that custom start menu on monitor 2?

I´d like to join this discussion as I face a similar problem:
I´m using a 49" Mmoinitor which I divided into 3 parts using Displayfusion. I added a trigger for whatsapp which should move the window to the most right position (or virtual monitor 3). Whatever I try, It´s not firing.
edit: I´m on Windows 11 with no special Taskbar software

Same behaviour: Whatsapp is Fullscreen over the whole Monitor.
Do you guys have WhatsApp installed via the installer downloaded from their site, or through the Microsoft Store?
Ok, strange! It seems to work with both Window Created and Window Focused triggers for me every time. Could you attach a backup of your DisplayFusion Settings? (Settings > Options > Export)
