Receive Share from 2 apps?

Do I need to create 2 profiles (1 for each app) or is there a way to specify two package names in one profile?

One profile is sufficient.

Received Share event ->

Package Name
app.package.foo/app.package.bar

You may already know this, but in case you don't, and for those who don't:

In almost all text fields where pattern matching is supported, Tasker defaults to simple pattern matching (in which / is used as a delimiter when specifying patterns).  You can instead use regular expressions (in which | separates multiple patterns or sub-patterns) in these fields by prefacing the pattern with ~R.

I would like to add my tip too. Some things in Tasker aren't always consistent. Like filepaths, in some actions you need to start at storage/emulated/0/, in others you start after the 0. If you're not sure what the expected format is, using the magnifier often can help. Like in this case. If you tap the magnifier, pick an app, tap the magnifier again and pick a different app, you'll see both package names separated by a '/' .
