Automations

Build automated workflows that trigger on events, process data, and connect features — extensible with custom Node.js code.

Make apps work on autopilot. Automations lets clients create event-driven workflows that run behind the scenes — and extend them with custom code when needed.

Overview

The Automations module lets clients build workflows that trigger automatically when things happen in their app. A new booking is created? Send a confirmation, update inventory, and notify the team — all without manual steps. Automations connect the app’s features together into intelligent, reactive workflows. And when the built-in options aren’t enough, developers can drop in custom Node.js code to handle any logic imaginable.

Key Capabilities

  • Event-driven triggers — Automations fire when specific events happen: new orders, bookings, sign-ups, form submissions, and more
  • Action chains — String together multiple actions: send emails, update records, create tasks, charge payments
  • Conditional logic — Add if/else branching so workflows adapt based on data and conditions
  • Custom Node.js code — Extend any automation with custom server-side JavaScript for unlimited flexibility
  • Scheduled automations — Run workflows on a schedule: daily reports, weekly digests, recurring maintenance tasks
