Tasks

Overview

A Task is the fundamental unit of automation in Tasker. A task consists of one or more actions executed in sequence to perform a specific operation. Tasks can be triggered manually, by profiles, through widgets, shortcuts, scenes, plugins, or other tasks.

Tasks form the core of nearly all Tasker automations and can range from simple one-action routines to complex workflows involving conditions, variables, loops, and user interaction.

Structure

A task is composed of individual Actions, which are executed from top to bottom unless modified by flow-control actions such as If, For, While, Goto, or Stop.

Each action may contain parameters that determine its behavior.
