Sequence of Automation Rules in a Space
Hello!
We have a few cases where a space / folder / project has more than one automation rule assigned to it, and the functionality of one is impacting the other as they are happening in the wrong order.
Please see below use-case scenario that illustrates the requirement:
- We have a rule applied at the Space level where, Trigger = New Item Created, Conditons = Custom Fields are blank, Action = Add item to "Tasks with Blank Custom Fields" folder
- We then have a rule applied to a Project (Top) within this space where, Trigger = New Item Created, Action = Populate Custom Fields as specified
Automation Rule #1 takes place first every time, so tasks that have Custom Fields populated are being tagged into the Blank Custom Fields folder when they have actually been populated.
Is there any way for us to specify the order in which automation rules take place so we can avoid this conflict?
Any feedback from Wrike Community Team or Community Members on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.
Being able to set up a hierarchy of which Automation Rules take place would be very helpful and avoid conflicts for me too. Hope to see this feature added soon!
Agree - this would be a very useful feature for us.
Thanks a lot for sharing this idea Jess Cuddy, and for supporting it, folks!
I checked with our team responsible for automation, and they don't currently have this on their roadmap due to other priorities. However, your feedback has been noted, and we'll let you know if we have changes for the order of the automation rules 👍
