What Automate is
Automate is an Android app for building flowcharts that automate repetitive tasks on smartphones and tablets. Users connect blocks representing actions, conditions, event triggers, loops, and other tasks, then configure them with predefined options, expressions, variables, and functions. The app includes more than 410 building blocks and supports multi-step workflows, conditional logic, and webhook triggers. It can interact with apps that support the Locale or Tasker plug-in API, and it connects to web apps and online services through HTTP. File transfers can use Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, FTP, and HTTP. An in-app Community lets users download flows shared by other users. The free edition costs nothing and permits 30 running blocks. Premium is a single in-app purchase associated with the purchasing Google account and devices registered with that account; a Premium upgrade unlocks the 30-running-block limit, but no price is listed for either purchase. Automate is made by Automate, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. The maker says flows and settings are stored locally unless users explicitly share them through Community, and that the app shows no ads or gathers usage statistics. Automate is currently available only on Android. Some Android features restricted by Google Play policy require a separate extension app that works only with a legitimate copy of Automate.
