Auto actions

Creating action chains

Combine triggers and actions to set up a series of automation rules. The tree allows you to link several actions together, like this: event -> condition -> action.

Action chains

“Wait for user action” option

Add the option “Wait for user action” to the tree of commands if you need to wait for a user action to continue a rule in the workflow.

Wait for user action

Creating conditional rules

Adding conditional branches to your tree will let you evaluate variables in a card and set up rules using the Kantree Query Language (KQL) before an action gets triggered.

Conditional rules

Manual triggering of rules

When you need to trigger an action on the spot instead of fully automating it, you can do it with the trigger button.

Manual triggering

The trigger button is another field you can add to your card and then customize.
