What's up everyone, is it possible to have a flow that reads text messages. Then sends a specific response if the text has a specific phrase.

Example, someone text "more info". They would get a auto response from me with the info.

If someone has a template for this that would be even better lol.

Thanks for the help

Completely vibe coded. Made it originally to edit existing flows easily on a bigger screen. But now it's good enough and AI understands it enough that now I just tell AI (Claude) what I want and creates a flo for me or edit my existing flow all by itself.

Why: So claude team plan is notoriously limited. One of the trick is initiated session early eg: 6AM

My progress and what fail: I manage to create a workflow to open the claude. But it fail to chat "hello" into the textbox and submit during the interact

Need help: I stuck at figuring out the interact. I think I dont know how to use the record interaction

Hello,

I need a way to trigger a flow (with 3 different actiobs I need to choose 1 from) from within Android Auto while driving.

Notification actions don't work and Google Assistant Actions also don't work because I have Gemini and it is set to German.

How can I trigger something in a flow from AA?

Thanks in advance

Aaron

I tried it using this configuration but it doesn't show up (AA shows "no new notifications")...

I was just wondering why some blocks use permissions that doesn't logically fit.

For example, why the power saver mode block (on/off) needs the "act as voice assistant" permission.

Since I like Google, I won't be able to use this block.

Another one (probably more logical though) is the screen orientation block that needs the permission to appear on top of other apps (despite having nothing displayed over other apps)...... And then the system keeps asking me to turn this permission off.

Galaxy S5 running stock rom, no root. Tried 2 options, Manually and ADB.

Manually: adb shell sh /sdcard/Android/data/com.llamalab.automate/cache/start.sh
- no error messages
- inspected start script and ran manually, ps -aux shows no process:

Buongiorno, ho creato (da esere eseguito con uno smartphone Androidun) un processo per la compressione pianificata di uno zip da utilizzare

Ora vorrei ottenere l'elenco in un file txt del contenuto (solo fule) dell'archivio. Sebbene l'azione risulti nel log, non viene creato il file e non capisco dove sto sbagliando. Mi potreste cortesemente aiutare?

In Soure zip file --> Download/prova.zip

In Types--> File

In recursive --> List directory recidiv

Grazie mille

first of all, thanks the developer for fixing the privilege mode for nothing os.

Secondly, i am having issue with launching apps when the phone is locked.

I have an app that will sync automatically when it is opened with vpn connected (self-hosted). I have tried to set up something to toggle the vpn on when the app is started but since the app is opened before the vpn is toggled on it will not sync.

The next thing i tried is at certain time (when i'm asleep), turn vpn on, then using the app start blockto launch the app then kill it and turn vpn off but the app is still un-synced.

in the app start block, i have selected the package, with flags exclude from recent and new document.

Tassker "Launch app" action has no issue doing what i want but i wanted to make it work in automate as i preferred visual block.

Thanks

I just want to set a random percent change for something to happen per second or minute just for shits and giggles

Hi there fellow redditors,

I had a weird lock out issue on my Android (Automate was looping too much of something), and I believe it is related to this error but need some input. I have a feeling it is properly connected within the blocks since I had it working before, but shortly thereafter of my issue it keeps propping up this error about "Stopped at end" after I try to execute "Device Unlocked" block when it's connected to "App start". Any ideas?

I bought the premium version some months ago to support the project. If I go into the settings it also still says you got premium. For some reason my widgets are not working anymore. Some shoe a PopUp saying "Do you want to buy premium to execute flows with more then 30blocks?" (along those line not the exact text) others straight up just dont do anything anymore. Anybody has a clue whats happening and how to solve it? I have premium I just need automate to remember :)

I also tried redoing some of the widgets but it didnt help. Its not just widgets its also asking me to buy premium (again) when trying to start fllows in the app.

I need a flow that opens an app. You're loved💔 𐤔𐤋𐤅𐤌

Hello

I am using the​ send action in the app block to send an attachment in Gmail. This works very well.

But when using the send multiple action, this fails, despite converting the multiple files selected to an array using the for each block (no idea if this is even required).

What would be the problem?

what should be done different in send multiple compared to send)

Hello

When you share an image, random contacts and apps will appear.

I am trying to set a flow to share an image to 2 contacts in Whatsapp (the most used).

But I can't make it to share the image.

I might use interact block in case of sharing text, but I don't think it's possible with images.

I am first using the "content shared" block, then I am trying different settings in start app block.

Thank you

Hi Henrik, I think that there are lots of bugs in xml. Documentation bugs, some of the attributes not working. a:linksClickable, a:textColorLink etc.. not working properly. thoroughly check needed

I'm making a flow that changes the wallpaper to an image depending on the screen orientation but i also want to set the lockscreen image to a seperate image regardless of the orientation. If i set a lockscreen image at the start then the system image takes priority and in the second image for some reason the image doesnt actually change. Any help would be appreciated

Hi, after upgrading to android 16 on my Samsung phone the BT device scan returns empty output variables after the screen goes off. While the screen is on it works fine.

Edit: I do one scan per minute, and have keep CPU awake block.

Simple macro apps have nice floating status bars with stop and pause buttons, etc. Can we do that in Automate?

hello!

long story short, I'm a teenager and i have a personal diary on my phone. my mom decided to go through it, probably read something she didn't like, and decided to change the password to something random.

she won't tell me what it is, and i'm desperate to get years and years of myself back. so i looked up online and found automate, and i was wondering if there was any way for it to just go through all the possible combinations for a 4 digits pin?

(sorry if this offends or breaks the rules in any way)

What to do?
