Flows

Flows #

From Kustom 3.70 all layers have a new tab called “flows”, what are flows? A flow is a quick way to get one or more tasks done with your apps. The Flows tab app lets you create your own automations with multiple steps. For example, download some data from a site then parse the content and download an image from it, or generate some text every hour or trigger an animation through a global with some delay after a touch.

How to send variables from Tasker

How to send variables from Tasker #

With Kustom’s Tasker integration, you should now be able to send your Tasker variables to the Kustom apps using the Broadcast receiver function and a tasker plugin. To do this:

Sending a variable from a Tasker task #

1. Open Tasker and go to the Tasks tab
2. Add a new task by tapping on the “+” button from the bottom right

3. Give your task a name and tap on the “check” button

4. Tap the “+” button to add a new action

5. Go to the Plugin category

6. Select a Kustom app on the list
7. Select the Send Variable kustom action

8. Tap on the “pen” icon next to Configuration

9. Provide the Kustom Variable and Tasker String and tap on the “check” button

10. Tap on the back arrow

11. Tap on the “Play” button to execute the action

Receiving the Tasker variable from the Kustom app #

1. Add a text element to your preset
2. Change the Text attribute formula to $br(Tasker, kVar)$, where kVar is the Kustom Variable name you set from step 9 of the previous part.

3. Save and check your widget

** You can apply the Tasker task you just created to any of your Tasker profile

How to turn DND On/Off using Tasker

How to turn DND On/Off using Tasker #

Though it is currently not possible to manage DND with the Kustom app alone, with the help of Tasker, this can be achieved. This Tutorial can also be modified and used with other tasks that Tasker can perform.

First, create the necessary tasks in Tasker.

Turn on DND #

1. Open Tasker
2. Go to the TASKS tab
3. Add a new task by tapping on the “+” button
4. Enter the task name. Let’s call this “DND On”
5. On the Task Edit page, tap on the “+” button to add an action
6. Select Audio » Do Not Disturb
7. Change the Mode value to “No Interruptions”

Turn off DND #

1. Open Tasker
2. Go to the TASKS tab
3. Add a new task by tapping on the “+” button
4. Enter the task name. Let’s call this “DND Off”
5. On the Task Edit page, tap on the “+” button to add an action
6. Select Audio » Do Not Disturb
7. Change the Mode value to “Allow All”

Once you have the tasks created, you can start creating the KWGT Controls. For the sake of simplicity, we’ll just create two shapes. One, to turn on DND, and the other to turn it off.
