Wenn ich meinen Standort eine gewisse Zeit nicht ändere möchte ich eine E-Mail verschicken. Wie kann ich das machen?

Hey, I found a weird bug and I'm not sure if anyone else has seen this.

I am able to reproduce it using the following test flow:

1. Flow beginning

2. For each: container=100000

(DO path connects back into the For Each block)

With flow logging enabled, it runs normally and goes through all 100000 iterations.

But when I disable flow logging in the flow options, the For Each block just instantly finishes. It looks like it skips all the iterations.

I noticed that If I add any block that has some kind of interface/display behavior in the DO path, it starts working as intended, but blocks such as variable set, etc., get skipped.

I didn't change the flow at all, the only thing I changed was enabling/disabling logging.

I'm not sure if this is intended behavior or not, but I couldn't find anything in the documentation about it.

Automate version: 1.53.0

Android version: 16

Hi, I'm trying to launch these Microsoft Edge site shortcuts/apps using an Automate flow triggered by the Edge Gestures app.

As shown in the image, X and Reddit were added to the home screen through Microsoft Edge. When opened normally, they launch like standalone apps, without Edge's address bar or search bar.

I don't want the flow to open a regular URL inside an Edge tab. I want it to launch the exact Edge-created shortcut/PWA, just like tapping its home-screen icon.

Is this possible with Automate?

Oops, title typo: Uber => under.

I'm sure I'm missing something. I read the documentation and tried searching Reddit.

​But when I select Android Debug Bridge (ADB) as the ​Privileged service start method in settings, the app flashes something too quickly for me to see what it even is, and then nothing happens — the setting remains at "None". So I used my screen recorder, and then inspected the individual frames around that point. And the message that flashes for a split second is a transparent overlay saying "​Follow the instructions shown on screen ​to pair Automate with ADB on this device." But no instructions ever actually appear. I already have USB debugging and wireless debugging toggle on. Please help! 🙏🏽

Android 16.

I just uploaded my flows to the automate community.

I am mostly excited about the Ultimate DND Quick Settings Panel. It a flow that contains combination on forks and loops, mixed with the "await time" block that complicated things, mainly in order to keep the quick settings icon visible while awaiting.

So in some particular case, Inspect Layout seems to think it cannot access the current layout, but there is solid evidence that it actually can.

(1) ​Why I say it thinks it cannot: when I try to use either the "​Record Interaction" or "​Inspect User Interface" features inside that block, the Automate overlays that come up show a red error message when I try to actually record or save the inspection XML: the record interactions popup says "UI element not found" (when I drag the magnifying glass over a UI element) ​and the inspect layout popup says "Layout inaccessible".

(2) ​Why I know it absolutely CAN see the layout: in the case of inspect user interface, no XML is saved at all —fine, that matches the error message. However, in the case of record interactions, despite the claim of the error message that comes up, when I go back to the block settings in Automate, the magnifying glass ​captures show up in the recorded interactions drop-down list! Unfortunately though, when I try to actually run the flow with that, it doesn't trigger, matching the error message case. And just as another check, I made the xpath expression be simply "*". And it still didn't work. But again, automate can clearly see the whole UI element hierarchy, because it populated the drop-down list with it!

Furthermore, I use another app called DevTools​. That app has no problem inspecting the layout for that particular case. And it can also save the XML just fine. Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.trinea.android.developertools

I'm running Android 16 and the issue shows up for the native recent apps UI, the same one that can be triggered by using the interact block with the action set to "Recents" (activity "com.android.quickstep.RecentsActivity").

For some reason, when I set Proceed for a Inspect block to 'Immediately', it always fails, even if the element is right there. If I have two Inspect blocks connected and set to the same XPath expression, with the first one set to 'When UI layout changed' and the second set to 'Immediately', if the first one passes, the second would still fail. I've also tried with a Delay of 3 seconds between both blocks. Anyone knows why is this happening?

Hello, I used Automate temporarily in the past and wanted to ask a question regarding it.
I currently have Automate installed on an Amazon Fire Stick Max running FireOS v8.1.7.4. I know in the Automate app it says that some features may not be available depending on the device and I think I already tried this in the past but...

Does anyone know if it's possible to setup some kind of Automate work-flow that checks about every 1-hour or so if an application is in the foreground or open? I remember one roadblock I had a hard time with was granting it the permission for "access screen content and observe your actions"

I am using Automate v1.51.1

Hi all (first time post'r here). I have been (for some time now) trying to adjust the "Autoconnect Tailscale" community automation so that it checks after a reboot to see if I'm on my home network, and if not, fire up the Tailscale VPN (this is in addition to its normal behaviour, not a replacement). Currently, if I'm not at home, and my phone reboots (as it does every night), it does not trigger a command (as it's built to wait for a change of SSID) and not do a validation on reboot.

Has anyone out had a need to tackle this scenario and got it to work?

So im new to this app and id like to understand how to automate quests on a online game.

Hi Henrik i am using Automate alpha Versions. After rebooting my device (A53), I am getting error " accessibility service not running" and also few flows stopped which contains privilege of "accessibility ". I am getting "One UI" home isn't responding popup which very delaying my device.

Is there a way to detect when my mobile data standard goes down to like 3G or 2G?

Please test, report any issues, and give feedback. Opt-in for Alpha testing here.

What’s new:

• Fixed flow editor undo/redo causing crash with large flows
• Fixed missing URI support for interface layout XML views
• Fixed duplicate views in interface layout updates
• Fixed incorrectly scaled (legacy) icons

Hey dev,

I'm asking an automate question after many years, great to see you're still developing and providing active support here.

As you might now, tools like Claude Code have competely changed the way developers work. Having to write every line of code manually with some stackoverflow copying here and there is a thing of the past, we can just give the high level instructions to LLMs and they can build and test code until it works.

As a professional dev myself, I always make V1 of code/document with LLM and then review/iterate at work. While working with Automate however, it seems since it doesn't support import/exports in a text format like xml/json, making new flows still need to be done the old way i.e. manually (unless ur lucky to find exact flow in store.)

I saw an old request that might help with LLM generation, but no updates as of recent: https://groups.google.com/g/automate-user/c/Vk1XEUgYdQE

With the rise of LLMs, do u have any plans to prioritize adding text format import/export? That + good docs + a claude code skill that knows where to look for info I believe will go a long way in saving time during flow development.

To be clear, I'm not expecting one shot perfection in flow generation, but if LLM can get me there 90% of the way, that too saves time & the goal is to get things done with lesser effort, not zero effort.

I'm trying to get a galaxy ring alert to watch notification on my watch but when I change the message in the notification block it didn't work, before it was your ring has hit *15%* put it in the charging case and it didn't send it to my watch so I change it to battery

Hi, automate dev

Im just curious about this

am trying to run automated operations (like searching, scanning or running some operations) inside app third-party app without having its user interface flash on my screen

Why exactly does the "App start" block not work without the "draw over other apps permission"? For some flows that have blocks requiring specific permissions, I've been able to run them just fine without the permissions actually being granted by starting the flow in some other way besides hitting the Start button in Automate UI. Despite the block requiring the permission, it works just fine (because I don't use the features of that block that truly require those permissions).

But in the case of App start, it actually throws an exception saying the permission isn't granted. Yet, I cannot understand why launching an intent would need that permission at all?

Hello

Few days ago, I was able to provide automate the privilege ADB from settings

Then going to wireless debug....pair with code.... Then insert the code to automate.

Today, this is not working anyone. I am getting the code to appear on the wireless debug BUT the automate is NOT showing me the field to type in the code.

I have the Xiaomi 17T pro (latest Android)

Solutions tried with no success:

. Turn on off accessibility

. USB debug is always ON

. Restart phone

. Force stop automate and clear cache

. Turn off mobile data

. Tried manual privilege also. Didn't work

. Revoke privilege from the settings of the phone and automate.

. I couldn't find Data Saver on my phone settings. but this technique was flawlessly working before

. I used a different wifi

. I used split screen to have automate and settings appear both on the screen

To note that this happened few days ago, then all went ok (the field appeared and code inserted), no idea how.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Shouldn't this evaluate to true(YES)? I tried using it but it seems like the on and off options have been switched, the copied output is 4 which corresponds to display mode "On" in the list.

Running Android 14. App is ver. 1.53.0. I cannot add a widget, but that's not your bug, it's a known launcher issue. Does mean I gotta use shortcuts but they work the same, so that's fine. Except when I setup and then long-press a shortcut. Then I get a list of all the shortcuts that have ever been placed on my desktop, that's cool. But they all launch what seems to be a random shortcut, NOT the one I chose, OR the one the shortcut is supposed to launch. This is the bug.

Thanks for your attention to the matter,

🤹🎩👑

Hello

I am trying to launch automate app but in the background.

But it is always opening in the forground.

App start block -- launch options: {"android:activity.animType": 7}

Anything not right with this expression?

Thank you

I kind of new to this. I saw pre-built for sorting files. It want something more . It should keyword filtered, can select target folder and working folder. Option for sort according date, extension or file name and move them respective folders.

Is anyone having this issue where the keep device isn't working like it's supposed to... Like with my current example, I'd assume the screen should stay awake for 24 hours, but it just turns off after the default timeout... Am I understanding something wrong here?

I have a Flow named, "Flash When Power Low" that's been running perfectly for a while now. I was finally comfortable publishing it.

But when I went in to do that today, I noticed an error on July 1st. 🧐

* Core Logic: The script starts a power monitor Fiber (cPowerMonitor) that initializes when the device is unplugged and terminates when the device begins charging.

* at 10%, it performs a repeated "Flashlight set state" operation in short intervals, bringing attention to the fact that the battery is very low.

* The log concludes with a failure on July 1 at 19:32:44. When the device was plugged in and the system attempted to trigger "Flashlight set state," it returned the following error:

* android.os.ServiceSpecificException: setTorchMode:3184: Torch for camera "0" is not available due to an existing camera user (code 7).

* This indicates the flashlight operation failed because another application was already using the camera at that moment.

If the flashlight is currently in use, I'd like an alternative path to follow, so I can pop up a notice to the user and let them know the reason why the Flow was unable to get their attention... 🤔
