Groxbot + Apilio

Apilio is a home automation platform that enables users to connect and control smart devices from various brands, offering flexible automation through complex conditions, time constraints, and integrations with services like IFTTT and Tuya.

Get started

How a Bot uses Apilio

8 Apilio tools. Connect under Plugins. The Bot still asks before anything leaves the thread.

  • Use Apilio the way you would: open it, do the task, come back with evidence.
  • Work stays in the Bot thread. Anything leaving Groxbot needs your OK.
  • If it hits a login, 2FA, or a paywall, it stops on the computer for you.

Never without you

  • Change live Apilio settings
  • Message anyone outside the Bot thread

First message

Use Apilio for this task. Stay in the thread. Stop if you would change anything live.

Tools a Bot can call

A sample from the Apilio toolkit. The Bot calls these after you connect. Writes that would go live still wait for approval.

  • Get Boolean Variables
  • Get Conditions
  • Get Logicblocks
  • Get Numeric Variables
  • Get String Variables
  • List Time Conditions

Jobs that use Apilio

  • Talent scout — Source candidates from the brief. Never email anyone without approval. End with a shortlist and why.
  • Bug reproduction — Reproduce the bug from the report. Write steps, expected vs actual, and a minimal fixture. Do not change production.
  • Chief of staff — A source-linked digest of Slack, inbox, calendar, and notes — only the items that map to this week’s priorities. Does not send. Does not move meetings.

FAQ

Does Groxbot have a native Apilio integration?

Connect Apilio under Plugins when it is listed. If not, the Bot still has a real computer — it can work in Apilio in the browser the way you would, then stop when it needs a login or approval.

Can a Bot change live Apilio data?

Not by default. Groxbot is talk-first: draft in the thread, grant access when it hits a wall. Live Apilio writes wait for you.

Do I need a workflow builder?

No. Create a Bot, message it, grant access as needed. There isn't anything to learn — it's like bringing on a coworker.
