Robot
Robot is able to connect the data in datasheet with various business systems and Apps, and automatically performs specified operations according to preset trigger conditions to help you complete repetitive work, decreasing your workload.
Below are some scenarios using Robot:
E-commerce
- When a new form is submitted, the robot will automatically change the order status
Inventory management
- When the order status is changed to shipped, the robot will automatically reduce the number of stocks
Sales management
- When "Sales leads" datasheet and "Sales records" datasheet are linked with each other, and there is new record added to the "Sales leads", robot will automatically add this new record into "Sales records" datasheet as well.
Steps for creating a robot
There are three steps:
Step 1: Edit the basic information of the robot
Step 2: Configure the trigger conditions and actions of the robot
Step 3: Make sure the robot is in execution.
Step 1: Edit the basic information of the robot
Click "Robot" icon at the right top corner of datasheet to enter the process of robot creation: "Edit robot's name > Select trigger > Select action > View robot".
After clicking view robot, you can go to the configuration panel of the robot you just created.
Step 2: Configure the trigger conditions and actions of the robot
After entering the robot configuration panel, you need to configure trigger conditions first, and click to save.
Then configure trigger conditions of the robot, and click to save.
Step 3: Make sure the robot is in execution
After configuring and saving the trigger conditions and operation setup, toggle on the robot to make sure the the robot is in execution.
Following the steps above, if the data changes in the datasheet meets the condition, the trigger fires and robot automatically performs the operations.
Automation triggers
Currently, we offer three triggers:
when a new form is submitted
When a record is changed to meets the conditions
when a new record is created
For each trigger condition and action, a detailed description is as below:
Trigger: when a new record is created
Trigger name: When a new record is created
Trigger description: When a new record is created in the datasheet, the robot will start running
Trigger configuration
Trigger: when a new form is submitted
Trigger name: When a new form is submitted
Trigger description: When a form is submitted and received, the robot will start running
Trigger configuration
Trigger: When a record is changed to meets the conditions
Trigger name: When a record is changed to meets the conditions
Trigger description: When the data in the datasheet are changed to meet specified conditions, the robot will start running
