IMacro in action with Android application

Recently I purchase Samsung Galaxy tab, one of the wonderful creations that I’d ever wanted to have! I been using a lots of Android apps these days and decided to do something new using my PC, something that involve connection the device with my PC for playing games, sending messages and much more …

Android based mobile devices are way better than other java based devices as per my experience as they tend to give more freedom, speed and GUI is always better; however, I found it difficult to connect them with my PC likewise other brands like Nokia, Sony, Samsung come up with software for connectivity and backup purpose – there may be solutions however I thought to go for something unique. While checking android application market, I came across different applications that would allow me to connect my android mobile with PC and to do certain acts however one of those applications actually attracted me as it offered full control over android device using web browser – and that’s was the catch, I am sure you have already guessed what next article is going to be about!

IF you can access your device using any browser, you can make iMacro scripts! Got it

Ok, so apps name is ‘AirDroid’, they offer limited/trial however if you search out Google, you will find pirated copy of their application (I won’t suggest having one, as I, myself prefer using paid ones). Anyhow, that’s your part to think about. Once you install application in your mobile handset, it will try to connect your mobile with its network (make sure to active WIFI connection or alternatives), which you can connection using their web portal (web.airdroid.com). The interface is quite attractive and will allow you to access SMSs, Pictures/Gallery, Videos, Contacts, SD Card, Installed apps and few more things; it will also allow to send/receive SMSs using web interface and this is the place where iMacro is used.


Personally, I have acquired all of my contacts and assemble them in a sheet/CSV file, created iMacro script which is linked with the sheet and its function it to acquire contacts from the list, sending customized message/SMS to the contact. Bingo! I sent around 540 customized messages to my friends/circle a week ago, greeting New Year arrival. My own SMS marketing mini solution, allowing me customized content in individual SMSs.

Script is easy to build, you can make it yourself however if you need it, it costs only 20$.
