Automated Actions

Automated actions are the building blocks of your automation process. To create a new action, follow these steps:

  1. Access the system settings in Boost.space.
  2. Navigate to the “Actions and Triggers” section.
  3. Look for the option to set up automated actions.
  4. Choose the desired type for your action: system notification, email, or webhook.
  5. Fill in the necessary fields, including the name and other required information.

Note: Setting up webhooks can be done automatically through Boost.space, eliminating the need for manual configuration. If you choose to utilize webhooks, you can manage their settings by accessing the “Actions and Triggers” section and clicking on the edit button.

Triggers

Triggers serve as the catalysts for your automated actions. To ensure your automatic actions are triggered appropriately, follow these steps:

  1. Access the “Actions and Triggers” section in the system settings.
  2. Locate the trigger configuration interface.
  3. Select the module or addon for which you want to create a trigger.
  4. Specify the trigger type, such as create, update, or delete.
  5. Set the space to which the trigger applies. If no specific space is chosen, the trigger will be automatically applied to all spaces within the module.

By referring to the triggers overview, you can easily identify the cause-and-effect relationship between your chosen actions and triggers. The right side of the screen allows you to define the desired actions that occur after a particular trigger is activated.

Conclusion

Automation is a powerful feature within the Boost.space system, enabling you to streamline your processes and enhance efficiency. By understanding how to set up automated actions and configure triggers, you can leverage the full potential of Boost.space’s automation capabilities. Take advantage of these tools to simplify your workflow and focus on more critical aspects of your work.
