Profiles

Overview

A Profile is a trigger mechanism that activates one or more tasks when specified conditions are met. Profiles allow Tasker to respond automatically to changes in device state, user activity, system events, applications, locations, and schedules.

Profiles are often described as the "when" component of Tasker automation, while tasks represent the "what".
