Android
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 7.0 and higher)
- Make App for Android installed on your phone
As of the beginning of 2019, Google has restricted applications published on Google Play that gives access to:
- SMS permissions
- Call logs
The Make app you have downloaded from Google Play is also subject to these restrictions.
- See the comparison of functions in the restricted and non-restricted app versions.
In order to install the Make app with no restrictions, follow the steps below:
1. Tap on the following download link, and download the APK file.
Make app for Android (8.5 MB)
2. Open the downloaded make.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 Make app installation.
3. Install the Make application.
4. Open the installed application.
5. Scan the QR code, and proceed to the application.
6. The application is now ready to use.
You can still install the Make app for Android on Google Play.
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.
- Settings: Settings of the Make 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 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 . In the configuration window of the module, select the desired module and, where appropriate, set up other parameters.
