Workflow Automation

Streamline processes and eliminate repetitive tasks

Introduction to Workflow Automation

Techsstuff's Workflow Automation helps you streamline processes, eliminate repetitive tasks, and increase productivity. Our platform allows you to create automated workflows that connect your applications and services.

Triggers

Events that start your workflows, such as form submissions, new data, or scheduled times.

Actions

Tasks that your workflow performs, such as sending emails, updating records, or API calls.

Logic

Conditional statements and branching to create complex workflows based on specific criteria.

Key Features

Triggers
Events that start your workflows

Triggers are events that start your workflows. They can be based on user actions, system events, scheduled times, or external integrations.

Trigger Types

  • Form submissions
  • New or updated records
  • Scheduled times (cron jobs)
  • Webhook events
  • API calls
  • User actions (clicks, page views, etc.)

Implementation Example

// Initialize the automation client
const automationClient = new TechsstuffAutomation({
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY'
});

// Create a new workflow with a form submission trigger
const workflow = await automationClient.createWorkflow({
  name: 'New Contact Form Submission',
  trigger: {
    type: 'form_submission',
    formId: 'contact-form'
  }
});
