https://old.reddit.com/r/AutomateUser/comments/le2fkj/what_do_you_use_automate_for/One of the most powerful features Automate has is the ability to interact with and control other apps and their notifications.
I have my own flows for
- Accepting 2FA notification
- Controlling other android devices. The way this works is that I have both Automate and Telegram installed on both devices. Device A will send a message to the telegram bot api (via the HTTP request block). When Device B receives a notification from Telegram, depending on what the message says it will carry out certain tasks for me.
- Ordering my favourite food from my favourite restaurant for me. I use the widget to start this Flow. It launches the food delivery app, scrolls to and selects my restaurant, selects my burger meal, and then stops on the checkout page for me to verify before manually placing the order.- Controlling my smart plug. The plug has Google Home / Alexa integration but I don't use those. I've created a Flow to launch the smart plug app, and toggle the specific switch. I also use this Flow via a widget.
I've also modified a community Flow that records GPS track and saves it as a KML file locally.
What an amazing app! 5 stars to the Automate developer!
原來可以做sceen automation, 其實都幾多野可以玩
不過講真冇乜心機搞部手機
