Fruitask Automation offers a visual, no-code automation builder that reacts to changes in your data and executes a chain of actions. From sending emails to calling AI models and publishing blog posts, Fruitask is your go-to solution. Let&#8217;s delve deeper into the features and benefits that Fruitask Automation has to offer.<\/p>\n<h2>Overview of Fruitask Automation<\/h2>\n<p>At the heart of Fruitask Automation is the concept of triggers and actions. Automations are set to watch for specific changes in your workspace (the <strong>trigger<\/strong>) and subsequently execute one or more operations (the <strong>actions<\/strong>). You can seamlessly build your automations on a visual canvas, where the flow is mapped out from the trigger through each subsequent action, complete with branching and parallel paths.<\/p>\n<p>This flexibility allows actions to pass their results to later steps, effectively chaining them together into robust workflows tailored to meet your needs.<\/p>\n<h2>Triggers: What Starts an Automation<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Row created, Row updated, Row deleted<\/strong> \u2014 when data in a table changes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dropdown selected<\/strong> \u2014 when a specific option is chosen in a column.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Checkbox checked<\/strong> \u2014 when a checkbox column is ticked.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deadline near<\/strong> \u2014 a set number of days before a date column.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scheduled time<\/strong> \u2014 daily, weekly, or monthly at a chosen time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chat mention<\/strong> \u2014 when the workspace AI\/assistant is mentioned in chat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Triggers can also be optimized with conditions that allow them to fire only when specific criteria are met, ensuring more precise automation.<\/p>\n<h2>Actions: What an Automation Does<\/h2>\n<p>Fruitask Automation offers a variety of actions you can take once a trigger is activated:<\/p>\n<h3>Messaging &#038; Notifications<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Send Email (using Fruitask or your own mail provider)<\/li>\n<li>Send Notification (to chosen workspace members)<\/li>\n<li>Send Chat Message<\/li>\n<li>Send messages via Telegram, Viber, or WhatsApp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Web &#038; Integrations<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Custom HTTP Request<\/strong> \u2014 make calls to any API or webhook (GET\/POST\/PUT\/PATCH\/DELETE).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Create Blog in WordPress<\/strong> \u2014 publish a post to a WordPress site with an optional featured image.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>AI Actions<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Generate with ChatGPT<\/strong> (OpenAI)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Generate with Gemini<\/strong> (Google)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Generate with Claude<\/strong> (Anthropic)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Generate Image<\/strong> (OpenAI image models) \u2014 results are hosted and returned as a URL<\/li>\n<li><strong>Generate Text with AI<\/strong> \/ <strong>Workspace AI Agent<\/strong> \u2014 utilizing your workspace AI<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Data Actions<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Create, Update, or Delete Record (in any table)<\/li>\n<li>Create External Record (in another workspace)<\/li>\n<li>Get Record \/ Get Data (fetch 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<h3>Flow Control<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Condition<\/strong> \u2014 If\/Else branching based on defined rules.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parallel Split<\/strong> \u2014 execute two independent paths simultaneously.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note that additional integrations such as Facebook Page posting and YouTube uploads are marked as \u201ccoming soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Powerful Concepts in Automation<\/h2>\n<h3>Chaining Outputs Between Actions<\/h3>\n<p>Most actions expose their results, allowing later steps to use them through placeholders such as:<\/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<h3>Conditions That Test Other Actions<\/h3>\n<p>A <strong>Condition<\/strong> can branch actions based on a table column or the output of a previous action. For example, you can configure your workflow to only continue if a certain HTTP response code equals 200.<\/p>\n<h3>Error Handling Per Automation<\/h3>\n<p>Your automations are equipped with robust error handling options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Stop on first error<\/strong> (default) \u2014 halts the run and skips remaining actions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Continue on error<\/strong> \u2014 allows the process to carry on and logs any failures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Build with AI<\/h3>\n<p>One of the standout features of Fruitask is the <strong>Generate with AI<\/strong> function that can automatically design an automation based on your plain-English request. It selects the trigger and actions, wiring the outputs correctly. You simply fill in your credentials after.<\/p>\n<h3>Test &#038; Preview Your Automations<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Test Run<\/strong> \u2014 executes the automation once, displaying live progress along the flow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Play Chain Animation<\/strong> \u2014 simulates the flow without running it, previewing the chain effect.<\/li>\n<li>The canvas allows for <strong>zoom<\/strong> functionality for extensive flows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Getting Started with Fruitask Automation<\/h2>\n<p>To start creating your automations, open the <strong>Automations<\/strong> section within your workspace. Choose a trigger and add actions using the \u201c+\u201d buttons on the canvas. Utilize the <strong>Test Run<\/strong> feature to verify your setup and access <strong>Logs<\/strong> to review past runs.<\/p>\n<h2>Requirements &#038; Access<\/h2>\n<p>To edit automations, you&#8217;ll need the necessary automation permissions in your workspace (create\/update\/delete). Many actions leveraging AI and third-party services require your own API keys and credentials, which are securely stored and used server-side.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips for Optimizing Your Automations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Consider adding a <strong>Condition<\/strong> after a Custom HTTP Request to branch based on <code>{{http.response.code}}<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li>Utilize <strong>Generate with Claude<\/strong> paired with <strong>Create Blog in WordPress<\/strong> to auto-draft posts and include a generated image as a featured image.<\/li>\n<li>Implement <strong>Parallel Split<\/strong> for tasks that can occur independently, such as notifying your team while simultaneously calling a webhook.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With Fruitask Automation, the possibilities for enhancing your workflow and productivity are limitless.
