π€ Automation
π‘ Introduction
The LoftOS Automation System streamlines your platform management by automatically triggering specific actions based on user behavior. This powerful tool reduces manual administrative work and creates dynamic, responsive experiences for your community members.
The automation system operates on a simple concept: βIf this happens (Trigger), then do that (Action).β
- Trigger: A specific event that occurs on your platform (e.g., a user joining a group)
- Action: The automated task that executes when the trigger occurs (e.g., assigning a role to that user)
Currently, automations must be configured by our Customer Success team. Contact your designated Customer Success Manager to set up automations for your platform.
βοΈ Available Automation Capabilities
