Automations

An Automation starts work when a chosen event happens.

When to automate

Use an Automation for work that should run later, repeat, or react to an event. Use a background process for long-running work that starts now in the current Job.

Events that can start an Automation

  • A scheduled time or TurnPanel starting.
  • A Job, process, or Script finishing.
  • An action in an App or a change to shared data.

Actions

An Automation can start or continue a Job, run a saved Script, or show a notification. Scheduled times work only while TurnPanel is running, and missed times may not run after the computer wakes or TurnPanel restarts.
