Automate

What it is
Automate is an Android app for turning repetitive smartphone and tablet tasks into flowcharts. Users connect blocks for actions, conditions, event triggers, loops, and other tasks, then configure them with options, expressions, variables, and functions. More than 410 building blocks support multi-step workflows, conditional logic, and webhook triggers. The app works with applications supporting the Locale or Tasker plug-in API and connects to web services through HTTP. File transfers can use Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, FTP, or HTTP. An in-app Community provides flows shared by other users. The free edition costs nothing and permits 30 running blocks. Premium is a single in-app purchase that removes that limit and belongs to the purchasing Google account and its registered devices. Automate says it shows no ads, gathers no usage statistics, and stores flows and settings locally unless users share them. The app is currently unavailable on platforms other than Android.
