Automating your workflow has never been easier

Step 1 Go to the Automation center

Go to your project board and click on the Automations button found in the top right corner to open the Automation center.

Step 2 Create a new automation

Click on New automation and give the automation a name that reflects its purpose.

Step 3 Set the trigger: “When this happens”

Pick the event that will trigger the automation. If you want to create a recurring automation, you need to set up the recurrence trigger — so choose the “Repeat every” option.


Once chosen, configure the trigger further by choosing the exact board data it affects.

Step 4 Add optional conditions

You can also make your automations smarter by adding multiple conditions that have to be met before the automation is triggered.

Step 5 Define the action: “Then do this”

Decide what action follows the trigger: change Item field, move Item, change Item subscribers, send notification, or create Item/Subitem.

Step 6 Activate your automation

Click Create automation to activate it. Now, every time the trigger and any additional conditions are met, Plaky will automatically go through with the action and notify relevant team members.
