Create a Gear automation


1. Go to Settings

2. Look for the Gear section and click on "Automations"

Find it on the first group of settings. 

Remember! Only admins can set up Gear automations. If you're not an admin you won't be able to do it.

3. Click on "Create automation"

4.  Choose your trigger

The trigger is the starting point of the automation you're creating. 



5.  Define your conditions

Here you have 3 options: 

1) Skip conditions --- When you want the automation to occur regardless of the condition on which the trigger happens (defined in the previous step).

2) Choose 1 condition --- When the trigger must occur under a certain condition for the automation to occur.

3) Combine several conditions --- When a set of specific conditions must be met for the automation to occur.


Add as many conditions as you like: 


Or "Skip Conditions" if you want the automation to occur every time, no matter what,


6.  Define the outcome

Choose the automation result, what should happen. 

7.  Give it a name

Try to be as descriptive as you can, so you can easily identify it on the automation list.


8.  Save the automation.

Click on the "Save changes" button to create your automation. 


Your automation will be listed on the Gear automation window, with the name you gave it. 


Your automation was created and is already running.
