Getting Started with Android App
The Android App modules allow you to monitor events performed by your Android phone and/or perform various actions using your Android phone device.
Prerequisites
- Android device (Android 5.1 and higher)
- Integromat App for Android installed on your phone
- SMS permissions
- Call logs
The Integromat app you have downloaded from Google Play is also subject to these restrictions.
Installation of the Non-restricted Integromat App for Android
In order to install the Integromat app with no restrictions, follow the steps below:
1. Tap on the following download link, and download the APK file.
Integromat app for Android (8.5 MB)
2. Open the downloaded integromat.apk file.
Some phones (typically Huawei devices) may detect a possible virus in the APK file. There might be various reasons for this to happen. But as we investigated – most likely we are blacklisted by Huawei's antivirus system.
Huawei devices, unlike other OEMs, pre-installed an antivirus into their system and uses Virustotal API (https://developers.virustotal.com/v3.0/reference) which may falsely detect Integromat's APK file as malware. All other OEMs use Google Play Protect anti-malware service where the Integromat app is verified.
If you are in doubt whether the file contains suspicious software, scan your device using Google Play Protect:
- Open the Google Play Store app (
). - At the top right, tap the profile icon.
- Tap Play Protect.
- Tap the Scan button to scan your device for malware and/or viruses.
3. Switch the button to allow the Integromat app installation.
3. Install the Integromat application.
4. Open the installed application.
5. Log in, or scan the QR code, and proceed to the application.
6. The application is now ready to use.
Installation of the Restricted Integromat App for Android on Google Play
You can still install the Integromat app for Android on Google Play.
Using the App
The app is designed to run in the background and perform selected functions.
On the main screen, you can switch between the following options:
- Events
Contains a list of captured events that have not yet been sent to the server.
The app synchronizes events automatically. The synchronization is performed in the shortest possible time interval supported by the operating system. While for Android devices, events are sent immediately, for iOS devices, it can take several hours to send events. The automatic synchronization also occurs every time you open the app. To start the synchronization manually, drag the list of events down. - History
Contains all events that have already been sent to the server and those that generated an error when being sent. By clicking on an event, you can view its details, including any errors that have possibly occurred. - Buttons
Buttons allow you to run a scenario by tapping the associated button on your Android device. - Scanner
Use the barcode or QR code scanner to scan respective codes and trigger the scenario. - Settings
Settings of the Integromat for Android app features.
Modules are divided into two categories: triggers and actions. Triggers have the ability to listen to the connected device and start the scenario whenever the device generates a new event. Actions, on the other hand, create new items in the device. Select the desired trigger or action, and add it to your scenario. In the configuration window of the module, select the desired module and, where appropriate, set up other parameters.
Setting Up the Integromat for Android App
Before you start building a scenario using the Android app modules, it is necessary to set up particular functions on your Integromat for Android app to allow the app access to your phone's corresponding functions.
