Automator

Task automation app for Android

Automator is a task automation app for Android, which allows configuring tasks to be run automatically based on triggers, conditions and actions. Triggers are events that initiate tasks, for example when a headset is plugged in or an incoming short message is received. Conditions act as filters to limit when the tasks are, for example time of day or in certain network conditions. Actions are executed if the task's triggers and conditions are matched, for example an activity can be launched or the device profile can be changed.
