Here's some notes from my experience using Automate:
- flowchart block scripting feels intuitive and flexible
- free tier allows 30 running blocks
- some blocks I've tried: send SMS, show toast, set clipboard, await motion gesture (finnicky), await volume button long press.
- it comes with an app inspector. Example usage: I wanted to make a shortcut for creating new notes. So I created a test note, activated the app inspector, and copied this output into an "app start" block:
Package: com.automattic.simplenote
Activity class: com.automattic.simplenote.NotesActivity
Action: android.intent.action.SEND
MIME type: text/plain
Extras: {"android.intent.extra.SUBJECT": "test title", "android.intent.extra.TEXT": "content"}
Not sure how this compares with Tasker.
- smusamashah 2y agoThe documentation is not good enough. It's OK at best. My wife has a habit of putting phone to vibrate. I used Automate to turn the volume to full if I was ringing. It was not as simple as macro droid (may be it was some other tool) and documentation was a bit frustrating.
