Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the existing Tasker integration that auto-plays episodes when Bluetooth headphones connect, then investigate how an IFTTT integration could provide the same trigger in the Android app. Confirm the expected Pocket Casts and IFTTT interaction, and consider how the behavior can be tested; done means Bluetooth headphone connections through IFTTT reliably trigger episode autoplay.
