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.
