Autostart

[kgm...@gmail.com]

Greetings,

I have a flow that sets certain conditions on my phone at a specific time on a specific day of the week. Is there some way to have that flow start itself so I don't have to remember to do it?

Thank you.

There's no need to re-start a flow, they're meant to run indefinitely, e.g. to perform an action once a week...

1. Flow beginning
2. Time await
3. Play sound
4. (loop back to #2)

Ensure to enable the "run on system startup" option in settings to make the flow resume after reboot.

I suppose I could do it that way. It's set up to run once and be done.

I finally found the run on system startup option. Is there any way to have it start only some flows? Automate comes with a bunch of flows; I don't need to restart all of them.

As said, flow don't restart, they resume.

If you want a flow to stop after a reboot, then use then use an Fiber/Flow stop block after an Broadcast receive block with action Boot completed.

Where did you find 'Run on Startup'?

It's an option in Automate setting.
