Let Arka handle the repetitive tasks. Automations allow you to build rules that trigger actions based on changes in your databases.
Building Automation Rules
Construct custom workflows with our intuitive Rule Builder.
- Triggers: Choose when a rule should fire—like when a 'Page is Created' or a 'Property is Changed'.
- Conditions: Add logic filters, such as 'Only if Status is set to Urgent'.
- Actions: Define what happens next, from 'Archive Page' to 'Update Progress' or 'Send Notification'.
How to Setup
Activate automations in your databases with ease.
- Automation Menu: Open any Database and click the gear icon to access 'Global Automations'.
- Rule Management: Create, toggle on/off, or edit your rules directly from the automation hub.
- Activity Logs: View a live log of every automated action to monitor your workspace's performance.
Intelligent Execution
Arka worker-based execution ensures reliable performance.
- Server-Side Logic: Rules are executed on our secure worker, ensuring actions happen even if you're offline.
- Debounced Triggers: Our engine batches rapid changes to ensure efficient execution and prevent redundant actions.
- Error Handling: If an automation fails (e.g. invalid condition), Arka logs the error and notifies the archive owner.
