Tasker: I haven't used it, but I've seen useful automations over the years from people online and I would probably use a good FOSS alternative.
I use "Automation" (on fdroid) - the UX could do with some improving but it thoroughly covers the basics.
Newer versions of Android make it difficult to automate certain things though, I find root helps to get around that in some cases
I used to be a heavy Tasker user. I think I hit a wall with building more complex rules using their interface, which made me stop using it. Maybe they have a way to just write a script instead now, but I haven't looked into it.
There is something called auto clicker(?) Such is simpler but similar. It's on fdroid.
