[Onboarding] Automate to Innovate! - Step 11 🤖

Hello Wrike users 🙋

Welcome to the world of Wrike Automation, a powerful feature designed to reduce repetitive manual tasks and speed up your work processes 🤖

The beauty of Wrike's Automation lies in its simplicity and user-friendly design. You don't need any coding experience to create automation rules. The rules follow a straightforward "WHEN ..., THEN ..." structure, with the option of adding an additional "IF" statement for more specific conditions.

Here's a quick guide on how to set up an automation rule:

1️⃣ Specify the Scope: Determine which tasks or projects the rule should apply to.

2️⃣ Trigger the Rule: Define the "WHEN" statement, which is the event that triggers the rule.

3️⃣ Set Additional Conditions (Optional): You can add an additional "IF" statement to specify conditions that must be met before the rule is triggered.

4️⃣ Define the Action: Decide the "THEN" statement, which is the action that should take place when the rule is triggered.

The automation rule constructor will guide you through each step, making the rule creation process a breeze. With Wrike's Automation, you can automate routine tasks and focus on what truly matters - driving your projects forward and achieving your goals. Wrike's Automation is all about making your work more efficient, less error-prone, and giving you more control over your tasks and projects. 

Account-Level and Space-Level Automation:

Automation rules can be applied at both the account level and the space level, each with its own characteristics and scope. Account-level rules are managed by account admins and owners, while space-level rules are managed by space admins.

Automation Rule Examples:

Here are a couple of examples to demonstrate how they could be utilized:

Example 1: WHEN the statuses of tasks (from a specific project) don’t change for 5 days from "Pending changes," THEN @mention assignees and leave a comment.

Example 2: WHEN the status of projects (from a specific space) changes to "Completed," THEN move the projects to the "Archive" folder.
