Coming from an Android or iPhone background, I’m sure you’ve used or at least heard of apps that can automate tasks. IFTTT is one of the big names when it comes to apps and services that can automate your tasks on Android or iPhone. There are actions using which you can take a screenshot and it will automatically be emailed to you or uploaded to the cloud.

I’ve been looking for something similar for Windows for a long time. Now, we all know that the interface of Windows is not as streamlined as that of Android and iOS and therefore, creating a simple application is very difficult. However, the people at AlomWare have come up with a cheeky tool with which you can automate a lot of things on your Windows computer.
Use AlomeWare Actions to automate tasks
AlomWare Actions is a free application to use and download for home needs and the installation is quite simple and that is probably the only simple thing when we talk about this application. Once the application is installed, you will be asked to configure the hotkey for the application. You can use this hotkey to open Actions anywhere.
Talking about the interface, it will remind you of the old classic software. There will be boxes and from the top left to the bottom right will be the actions, the steps involved in each action, the app settings and finally the actions you can use in each recipe that you do manually. So before we start, the first thing you will have to configure is the settings and that is the third box.
Here you need to configure your mail settings, application hotkeys, and variables for the date and time. This is the SMTP setting and you will have to get it from your mail service provider’s settings page. Once configured, it’s time to look at the actions in the first box.
That’s all there
There will be a number of preconfigured recipes for you to try and you can try them out and even assign a personal hotkey. While trying out formulas, always keep an eye on the second cell as these are the steps each formula will perform once activated. You can use this data to learn how actions work and then create your own recipes.
Creating recipes is a kind of geek job because you’ll have to work with actions and variables and then do it in the right order for the actions to work. There are no online tutorials that teach you how to use actions to create formulas, but the names of the operations and the descriptions next to them will help you with the task.
It may take some time for you to take all the actions and put them to use. In the meantime, you can browse the online catalog for several actions that can be used and learned at the same time. These steps can be copied to the clipboard and can then be entered into AlomWare operations from the clipboard using the corresponding button or by using Ctrl+I shortcut.
As a free user, you can create up to 10 recipes, and you must purchase the full version of the product to remove that limitation.
Conclusion
There are many recipes you can download and modify according to your needs. But things can get a bit complicated if you’re not the geek type. But then we are always here to help you discover new things and learn new things. So give the app a try and if you get stuck with anything just let us know in the comments.
