Fruitask Automation provides a powerful visual, no-code automation builder that allows users to react to changes in their data seamlessly. Whether it&#8217;s sending emails, calling AI models, or publishing blog posts, Fruitask makes automation accessible for everyone.<\/p>\n<h3>Overview<\/h3>\n<p>Fruitask Automations are designed to monitor various events in your workspace (known as <strong>triggers<\/strong>) and execute a series of defined actions. Users can visually map out these automations on a canvas, watching the workflow progress from trigger to action. Additionally, actions can feed their results into subsequent steps, creating robust workflow chains.<\/p>\n<h3>Triggers: What Initiates an Automation<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Row created, updated, or deleted &#8211; monitors data changes in tables.<\/li>\n<li>Dropdown selected &#8211; activates when a specific choice is made in a column.<\/li>\n<li>Checkbox checked &#8211; initiates when a checkbox is selected.<\/li>\n<li>Deadline near &#8211; triggers a set number of days before a date column.<\/li>\n<li>Scheduled time &#8211; allows for daily, weekly, or monthly automations at a specified time.<\/li>\n<li>Chat mention &#8211; responds when the workspace AI\/assistant is mentioned in a chat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Triggers can include specific conditions to ensure they only activate under certain circumstances, allowing for precise automation.<\/p>\n<h3>Actions: What an Automation Accomplishes<\/h3>\n<p>Once a trigger activates an automation, a variety of actions can take place:<\/p>\n<h4>Messaging &#038; Notifications<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Send Email (via Fruitask or your selected mail provider)<\/li>\n<li>Send Notification (to specific members, displaying their avatars)<\/li>\n<li>Send Chat Message<\/li>\n<li>Send Telegram, Viber, or WhatsApp message<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Web &#038; Integrations<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Custom HTTP Request &#8211; interact with any API or webhook (GET\/POST\/PUT\/PATCH\/DELETE).<\/li>\n<li>Create Blog in WordPress &#8211; effortlessly publish posts, including an optional featured image.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>AI Actions<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Generate with ChatGPT (OpenAI)<\/li>\n<li>Generate with Gemini (Google)<\/li>\n<li>Generate with Claude (Anthropic)<\/li>\n<li>Generate Image (OpenAI image models) &#8211; the output is hosted and returned as a URL.<\/li>\n<li>Generate Text with AI \/ Workspace AI Agent &#8211; utilizing your workspace AI.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Data Actions<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Create \/ Update \/ Delete Record (in any table)<\/li>\n<li>Create External Record (in another workspace)<\/li>\n<li>Get Record \/ Get Data (fetch specific rows for later use)<\/li>\n<li>Search Image (from Unsplash)<\/li>\n<li>Export Data (CSV\/JSON\/TSV)<\/li>\n<li>Create Calendar Event<\/li>\n<li>Embed to Knowledge Base (requires the AI Knowledge Base add-on)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Flow Control<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Condition &#8211; enables branching based on rules.<\/li>\n<li>Parallel Split &#8211; runs two independent paths simultaneously.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note that additional integrations, such as posting to Facebook Pages and uploading to YouTube, are marked as \u201ccoming soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Powerful Automation Concepts<\/h3>\n<h4>Chaining Outputs Between Actions<\/h4>\n<p>Most actions allow users to utilize their results in later steps with placeholders like <code>{{...}}<\/code>, e.g.,:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>HTTP response: <code>{{http.response.code}}<\/code>, <code>{{http.response.<any field>}}<\/code><\/li>\n<li>AI text: <code>{{chatgpt.response}}<\/code>, <code>{{gemini.response}}<\/code>, <code>{{claude.response}}<\/code><\/li>\n<li>Generated image: <code>{{genimage.url}}<\/code><\/li>\n<li>WordPress post: <code>{{wordpress.url}}<\/code><\/li>\n<li>Fetched data: <code>{{get.<Column>}}<\/code>, <code>{{getdata.count}}<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can also access any column from the triggering row using <code>{{Column Name}}<\/code>.<\/p>\n<h4>Conditions That Test Other Actions<\/h4>\n<p>A <strong>Condition<\/strong> can branch based on a table column or the output of a previous action; for instance, it can continue only if <code>{{http.response.code}}<\/code> equals <code>200<\/code>.<\/p>\n<h4>Error Handling (Per Automation)<\/h4>\n<p>The settings in the <strong>Save<\/strong> menu allow users to manage the handling of errors:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stop on first error (default) &#8211; halts the automation, skipping the remaining actions.<\/li>\n<li>Continue on error &#8211; proceeds through all actions, logging any failures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Build with AI<\/h4>\n<p>With the <strong>Generate with AI<\/strong> feature, users can create automations based on plain-English requests. This tool selects triggers and actions, including AI and WordPress steps, organizing them effectively. Users only need to fill in their credentials.<\/p>\n<h4>Test &#038; Preview<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Test Run<\/strong> &#8211; executes the automation once, providing live progress along the flow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Play Chain Animation<\/strong> &#8211; simulates the flow visually without real execution, offering a preview of the outcome.<\/li>\n<li>The canvas supports zoom functionality, allowing for easier navigation of larger flows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Where to Find It<\/h3>\n<p>Open the <strong>Automations<\/strong> section in your workspace, create an automation, and select your desired trigger. Add actions using the &#8220;+&#8221; buttons on the canvas. Use <strong>Test Run<\/strong> to verify your automation and review past executions through the <strong>Logs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Requirements &#038; Access<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>To edit automations, users must have <strong>automation permissions<\/strong> in the workspace, enabling create\/update\/delete capabilities.<\/li>\n<li>AI and third-party actions require <strong>your own API keys\/credentials<\/strong> (for OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, WordPress, Telegram, etc.), securely stored and only used server-side.<\/li>\n<li>Embedding into the Knowledge Base necessitates the <strong>AI Knowledge Base add-on<\/strong> being installed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Limits &#038; Notes<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>AI and image actions consume credits\/charges on <strong>your<\/strong> provider account.<\/li>\n<li>Branch and parallel nodes involve their own sub-actions, with nesting allowed one level deep.<\/li>\n<li>Logs record the status and outcome of each run for troubleshooting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Tips for Maximizing Your Automation<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Add a <strong>Condition<\/strong> after a Custom HTTP Request to filter based on <code>{{http.response.code}}<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li>Merge <strong>Generate with Claude<\/strong> with <strong>Create Blog in WordPress<\/strong> to auto-draft posts; combine with <strong>Generate Image<\/strong> for a featured image enhancement.<\/li>\n<li>Use <strong>Parallel Split<\/strong> for actions that can occur independently, such as notifying a team while simultaneously calling a webhook.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With Fruitask Automation, simplifying and enhancing your workflow is just a few clicks away.
