### 2/5 — Works OK

*2022-01-10*

Does the bare minimum. One annoying feature is that after you’ve create an HTTP post task every time you want to trigger it you need to open the task and click make the request. I found a few other apps that once you’ve setup the request it’s just a one tap to post. I would recommend using one of those instead
