IFTTT
'If This Then That' is tech automation with no coding!
IFTTT is a way to easily automate tasks in your life. It can automatically save specific Instagram photos to Dropbox, send a security alert if your family members calls for emergency services, upload Fit data to a spreadsheet, or even automatically turn the lights on when you get home. IFTT's customizations are practically endless.
To create an automation you create an Applet; for example you may want your phone to send you a reminder to take an umbrella if it's going to rain. So you can tell IFTTT to create an Applet as follows: "IF" forecast for today is rain, "THEN" send reminder to take umbrella.
There are hundreds of similar Applets on their site, or you can compose a new one to suit your lifestyle.
