Using with rsync backup for android

[snau...@gmail.com]

I have been using Llama to automate Rsync Backup for Android (RBfA) to backup my phone to my NAS.

I stumbled across Automate and, wow. Looks awesome. Alas, trying to use the RBfA locale plugin does not work in Automate. RBfA opens, but there is no way to select an RBfA profile to execute. 

Any ideas?

If you're using this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.kowalczuk.rsync4android

It's an improper Tasker/Locale plug-in.
However you may be able to start a sync with the App decision block:
Package: eu.kowalczuk.rsync4android
Class: eu.kowalczuk.rsync4android.RsyncRunner
Extras: { "profile_name": "<name of profile here>", "dry_run" as boolean: 0 }

If that doesn't work try the Broadcast send block:
Package: eu.kowalczuk.rsync4android
Action: "com.twofortyfouram.locale.intent.action.FIRE_SETTING"
Extras: { "om.twofortyfouram.locale.intent.extra.BUNDLE": { "eu.kowalczuk.rsync4android.PROFILE_NAME": "<name of profile here>" } }

I was looking for this same function, and found this post while searching.  Glad to see I'm not the only one looking for this function!

Unfortunately I couldn't get either method to work (app decision block gave permission denied error, broadcast block had no response).

Strangely the rsync plugin works without any trouble in llama :-/  I wish it would work in Automate since your app is much more powerful.

Please try the latest Alpha version:

The rsync plug-in incorrectly expects a "breadcrumb" title to be sent, or it didn't handle it as an plugin intent.
The latest Alpha sends a "breadcrumb" title, so the Plug-in action block should work with it now.

Thank you, in the alpha version it is working perfectly!
