Actions Pro
Show/Hide Description
Automate your phone!
Actions automatically executes a series of actions based on certain conditions, such as time, location, or the launch of an application. Conditions and Actions are organized in a unit called a Profile. A Profile has a set of Conditions and Actions. When all the Conditions in a Profile become true, the Actions are executed. When the Conditions are no longer there, the previous settings are restored. For example, you could set up a profile with the following parameters:
Conditions: App launched--PDF Viewer; Time--7 p.m. to 11 p.m; Location--Home
Actions: Display brightness to max, go into silent mode, set screen timeout to 10 minutes, block all incoming calls, display the reminder "Wear your glasses."
So, if you're at home, it's 7 p.m., and you launch the PDF viewer, all these Actions will automatically occur. Once you close the PDF viewer, leave home, or the time is past 11 p.m., all your normal settings will be restored.
You can set up the following Conditions for a Profile: time, location, app launch, incoming or outgoing call, SMS text, airplane mode, Bluetooth, battery level, docking, headset, external storage, power, screen on/off, USB cord connected, Wi-Fi, and events. From there, you can select from 100 Actions to take place, such as application start/stop, lock screen, answer call, end call, block/divert outgoing call, send/block SMS, reminder, almost all Android phone settings, media, record voice/video, take photo, play audio, and dialogs.
There is no limit to the combinations of conditions and actions to create profiles. With Actions, you'll never forget to have your Android device execute a crucial action.

Just to add there are widgets also to manually take action
The app is more user friendly than tasker, but is missing very important features
Please add the following to “Actions Pro” so that the app becomes useful:
a) Action for forwarding incoming call to an specific number.
b) Also add match against unknown numbers.
c) Action to hang up incoming call (and avoid voicemail)
d) Action to send incoming call to voicemail you have some of these features for sms, but no for calls.
If you add those features a lot more people will buy the app.
Noticed you are asking for some things that are already possible:
a) Action for forwarding incoming call to an specific number. DN: This can be done, I am doing it now with Actions (using the Action category called Phone, it is under there).
b) Also add match against unknown numbers.
c) Action to hang up incoming call (and avoid voicemail)
d) Action to send incoming call to voicemail you have some of these features for sms, but no for calls. DN: You can do this now by using Answer Call
Very simple addition request.
In order for me to accept a call from the person I want (which I want done automatically) I need to press a number on the key pad to accept. Can this be done?
when i make a profile…and i add a condition (in this case) localitation…i only can write one place…but when you use the “using network”, for this option…sometime the same place has two localitations (there are two antennas near) (or maybe you want use the same profile in your office and house….)
is possible add two localitations in the same profile?
Thank you
