[APP][4.0+] Automate - automatic tasks

[llamalab]

Automate is a free app for Android™ that lets you automate away repetitive tasks on your smartphone or tablet with easy-to-understand flowcharts. Make your device automatically manage files on local and remote storage, take photos, record audio and video, send e-mail, SMS, MMS, control phone calls, configure device settings like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC, and more, based on your location, time of day and hundreds of other conditions and triggers. Almost every feature on your device can be automated.

Features​

Simple, yet powerful​

Create your automated tasks visually as flowcharts, simply add and connect blocks, novices can then configure them with predefined options, while experienced users may use expressions, variables and functions.

Building blocks​

Almost every feature on your device can be automated using more than 360 building blocks, including actions, conditions, event triggers, loops and more.

App integration​

Easily integrate installed apps supporting the Locale/Tasker plug-in API, or by using every possible system capability to do so, including screen scraping and simulated user inputs. Integrate webapps and online services accessible through HTTP, including webhooks.

Sharing community​

Save time by downloading complete automation “flows” that other users already made and shared through the community that’s directly accessible within the app.

Download​

Free download at the Google Play™ store.

Hello I am a long time user of Automate purchased version, please help me with 1 problem - since there is no forum or community for flows other than the download "community" where author of flow cannot be contacted other than leaving comment with no way of seeing if it was read or receiving reply, I've no idea where else to ask.

Lately I found several cool flows in More Flows and they all fail with Personal Settings File not found, the block looks for AutomatePersonalSettings.txt on sd card and reads various config from it, where the effin' hell do I find the syntax of the file though? How do I set my wifi and bt for Lock Control flow. Or how do I set my email address for Intruder Photo Email Multifibered etc.

I've been googling last hour but the generic keywords chosen for the app and flow make it impossible to google anything even related to the app. Google "AutomatePersonalSettings.txt for Automate flow on Android" with any combination of the words to see what mean.

Android has no such file, it must be something the flow you've downloaded is expecting. I can't give support for flows made by a user, try contacting the user who made the flow by leaving a comment on the flows community page.

To ask for help and get support with the app, leave a comment here, or at:
