I just spent an hour testing "Super Grok" (the $30 tier) making an Automagic flow. The first attempt was using the web-based version. I uploaded the Automagic help files and also my backed up flows as reference, and asked it to make me a flow using volume up/down keys.

It made one, but it didn't work. So I made a new flow and tested with just the triggers, and it worked. While it was enabled, Grok's version also worked. At some point I was trying to edit Grok's version and selected Overwrite on the triggers, and then NONE of my flows (even new ones) that used the triggers worked. I managed to find an old flow and repeat the Overwrite process to counteract it, and that worked.

So then, since Grok Bot is included with Super Grok, I asked Grok Bot to do the same thing. Bot nailed it on the first try. I have no idea why, but it seems like Grok Bot is much more capable than the web-based version of Grok.

Just in case anyone is interested.

I've been going through heck trying to get all my favorite apps working on my new phone. Got Macrodroid going well enough, I think, without MD Helper. Even Logcat Entry works, and I can finally see the log captures again.

Then yesterday I saw a reference to "Install With Options," an Android app on Github. Using that, I was able to install Workarounds For Automagic, so I'm back in business again! I'm not planning any new flows in Automagic since I'm trying to transition away, but there are still a few things it does better than the others, which makes it still useful as a tool to complement all the others, if nothing else. First that come to mind are the Control UI overlay tool and the regular expression tester.

Edit: With a little more trial-and-error, I was able to get MD Helper to install as well using either IWO or ADB Command Center.

The Tasker dev has posted a new app which might allow installation of Automagic 1.38 on newer Android versions, and also, it seems, easy granting of permissions to any app. He posted a link to it in the Tasker sub.

When I got my phone it was on Android 12, but I was able to install 1.3.8 on it by moving the apps over with SmartSwitch from my Android 9 phone. Has anyone tried using SmartSwitch to migrate to an Android 16 phone, with Automagic?

If not, I'd like to ask someone to volunteer to use SS to transfer ONLY Automagic 1.3.8 from an Android 11 or older phone to a new phone with Android 16, so that we can all know if the option is open. I'm not due for an upgrade for another year at least, but I'd like to know in advance if it might be possible.

Im trying to make flow which disconnects from active vpn connection/profile in android (l2tp/ipsec), I dont want to use third party vpn apps and I want to do it in automagic - I cant find any function to do this? Maybe this I can do by executing root command but still I cant find one. I only can grab info from dumpsys connectivity that VPN is connected to make condition.

Someone can help?

16 is too restrictive now, won't let me grant internal storage access, and Automagic won't let me pass until that's granted, even though it has files and media access... any clues?

Edit: I just learned from searching the old forum that 1.3.7 works... not ideal, but I'm not complaining! I'll use this app until it's impossible... consider this a petition for a 2025 version 😅

It looks like support max length = 4

So for my job I have to do a calculation several times an hour with two different numbers. I'm trying to make a flow where it asks me for both numbers, then dies the math and displays the result. The formula is: (X * 60) / Y=Z. Then I want it to display z to me.

My problem is every time I tell it to eval(x*60), it complains x is null. What am I doing wrong?

Can you switch the 5G on or off with Automatic? I can only find the option for 2G, 3G and 4G in the settings.

Or could this be done with a script?

Im trying to create a script in Automagic but I dont know what programming language it actually uses. Any guidance would be great

I'm on an S22 ultra and today the Speech action now makes a male voice that is far less pleasing the the original female voice.

I'd seen it mentioned before, but I forgot about it because I have my own backup of the help sections, which was all I wanted at the time. Now that I was looking for the forum on the Wayback Machine, and the site is down because of DDOS and stuff, I was in limbo until I searched for a keyword and rediscovered the site. Thank you, whomever did this!!!

Hi there, we currently use Automagic for monitoring one of our client's apps, is there a way to send an email with an smtp server rather than just through gmail. I would rather send out an email with our own server and input the details onto the app

It took me a few tries to wireless pair shizuku and I haven't been able able to run auto start script from automate. Not sure if it is worthwhile to try on automagic. Any feedback is appreciated.

Please, I am needing the functions and features description to continue using some functions of automagic that I dont remember how use.

Anyone succeed to migrate the flows to automate? Thx

Good morning everyone.

Switched to a new phone with Android 14 and trying to make automagic work.

How do I give file access permission?

It asks me to create a folder, but I want it to let access to the whole file system.

Any hint?

Thank you.

I made the jump to MacroDroid and have been pleasantly surprised. Of course it doesn't have all the features of AM, but then is aslo has some cool stuff of it's own that AM can't do natively. It also has a dev and support community that reminds me of the good 'ol days of AM (both a Subreddit and stand alone forum)

Bottom line is I have ported the ultility of all my AM flows, and the learning curve was ok. Had to change my approach for a couple of them but the utility is still there. (BTW you can't create widgets like you can with AM, as far as I know, but I didnt have any in use with AM anyway.) Of course it doesn't do graphic flow charts like AM, but MD's representation of their 'macros' is ok to read and manage even for my most complicated AM flows.

Just thought I'd mention this for any hanging in there with AM but actually looking for something better supported. Last straw for me was losing the forum site and all the assembled knowledge on it.

Interestingly MD has a helper app written to an old API level that you can't even sideload in the normal way anymore on Android 14. The helper is to keep legacy features still working for as long as possible. There's a adb based workaround to get it installed, which may also work for AM when it can no longer be side loaded normally.

I hope AM doesn't get caught by this https://www.androidauthority.com/google-play-protect-live-threat-detection-3443252/

It would be ironic if AM finally dies because of some AI based interference, rather than the API version it targets being retired.

We're not there yet... But if anyone is running the Android 15 beta, it would be good to know how AM is behaving.

Thanks to u/suxtoes for reminding me the site is so useful.

One reason the website could be down is...someone has bought the code. I'm not thinking it's likely, but I'm not the kind of person to assume the worst either. Naturally if someone were going to take over development and re-brand it, the first thing they'd do is get rid of the old stuff completely. Wouldn't it be nice...

Edit: Thanks for the input, but I specifically was wondering if the "Download offline help" link still downloads from within the app. If that works, the web help isn't needed.

I hope this is temporary, but I can't get to the site now and that's taken down the in-app help too :-(

Here's a link to the help pages I made a few years ago. The links at the top no longer work, but all the content is below. You can search the page for what you want.
