Key Concepts

A flow is a complete automation you build. It usually has a When part (triggers) and a Do part (actions).

A rule is one row in the editor — the basic building block of a task. A rule can contain child rules.

The event that starts your task, such as an app opening or a scheduled time. Without a trigger, a task never starts on its own.

A check that must be true for the following actions to run, such as “only if Wi-Fi is connected”.

Something the app performs for you, such as tapping a button, sending a notification, or launching an app.

The smallest building block. Every trigger, condition and action is an applet you pick and combine.

A value you store and reuse across tasks, such as a counter or text captured from the screen.

The system permission that lets the app read the screen and tap for you. Most automations need it enabled.

An optional companion app that grants extra system-level abilities, like shell commands, without root.
