Using Push2Run with Tasker
Posted: Sun Nov 11, 2018 9:02 pm
I've been experimenting with a program called Tasker tonight - I've actually had it for years but only ever used some of its very basic features.
Tasker is a program that runs on Android phones allowing them to automatically send a PushBullet push based on many types of events.
For example, you can set Tasker up to automatically send of a PushBullet push when you reach a location.
In my case, I've configured Tasker to send a Push2Bullet push to "open outlook" when I get home.
To do this, I created a Tasker Profile based on the location of my house, and a Tasker Task to send a PushBullet push to my pc with a title of "Push2Run RobsPC" and a text field of "open outlook".
After that, when Push2Run gets the PushBullet push, it runs a Push2Run card to open Microsoft Outlook.
The Tasker Profile also has a 'Cool Down' period of 10 minutes, to help ensure it only runs once when I get home (and not several times if I walk to the mailbox and back).
Sadly, Tasker is not free - but if you're interested, please see: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... kerm&hl=en
