Set up Getwello with Tasker

Power-user Android automation. HTTP Server Pro, per-event vibration patterns.

Tasker is the Android power-user automation tool. This guide receives Getwello webhooks on your phone and routes them to per-event Tasker profiles.

What you need

  • Android phone with Tasker installed (£4 one-off).
  • HTTP Server Pro plugin (£3) or AutoTools.
  • A Getwello Coordinator account with active subscription.

Step 1: Install and configure HTTP Server Pro

Open the plugin, set a port (e.g. 8080), set a long random path token. The plugin listens locally on your phone for HTTP requests.

Step 2: Expose your phone

Two routes:

  • Cloudflare Tunnel: install cloudflared on the phone via Termux, point it at HTTP Server Pro. Cleanest.
  • Tailscale: install Tailscale on the phone, then on a VPS that relays from the public webhook to the phone over the tailnet.

Step 3: Create the Getwello webhook subscription

Settings → Developer API → Webhooks. URL is the public URL exposing your phone. Tick the events you want.

Step 4: Build profiles in Tasker

Create a profile triggered by HTTP Server Pro. In the Task, check %event against the Getwello event type. Then take whatever action you want:

  • Vibrate pattern (different per event type).
  • Notify with custom sound.
  • Speak the body via TTS.
  • Open the Getwello app.
  • Run another Tasker task or scene.

Test

Click Test on Getwello. The phone should buzz/sound within a second. Check Tasker's run log if not.

Troubleshooting

Phone goes to sleep: some Android skins kill background apps. Add Tasker to battery exceptions.

Tunnel drops: Cloudflare Tunnel via Termux can disconnect when Termux is killed. Use a foreground service or schedule a Tasker task to restart cloudflared.
