Jobs

Jobs execute scheduled operations automatically based on user-defined criteria and custom JavaScript code to streamline repetitive tasks and maintain data consistency.

Job types​

Pre-built jobs​

Choose from a library of common automated tasks designed for typical business workflows.

Custom jobs​

Create personalized automation using JavaScript code to address specific business requirements and unique processes.

Common use cases​

Jobs automate various business processes and data management tasks:

Task management automation​

  • Weekly priority reports - every Monday, identify 5 top-priority tasks and email the list to relevant users
  • Priority escalation - daily at 6 AM, automatically escalate unfinished tasks due the next day from normal to high priority
  • Workload monitoring - hourly checks for users with over 10 tasks due in the next 5 days, alerting managers about potential workload issues

Vacation and leave management​

  • Task reassignment - daily scans for recently approved vacation requests, identify tasks assigned to users on leave, and warn workspace administrators via email

Issue and ticket automation​

  • Auto-assignment - hourly review of specific app-related issues and automatically assign unallocated issues based on preset algorithms

Data maintenance​

  • Record updates - scheduled updates to keep records current and consistent
  • Status synchronization - automatic status changes based on time or other criteria
  • Notification management - automated alerts and reminders for important events

Job configuration​

Scheduling options​

  • Time-based - run jobs at specific times (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly)
  • Event-triggered - execute jobs based on specific system events
  • Conditional - run jobs only when certain criteria are met

Execution parameters​

  • JavaScript code - custom logic for data processing and decision making
  • Target data - specify which records or data sources to process
  • Notification settings - configure who receives alerts about job results
  • Error handling - define how to handle job failures or exceptions

Benefits​

Automated jobs provide:

  • Time savings - eliminate manual repetitive tasks
  • Consistency - ensure processes are executed reliably and uniformly
  • Proactive management - identify and address issues before they become problems
  • Scalability - handle large volumes of data and complex workflows efficiently

Jobs transform manual processes into automated workflows that run reliably in the background, allowing you to focus on higher-value activities.
