Automations<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As part of our ongoing commitment to making your collaboration as seamless and productive as possible, we are thrilled to omtroduce one of our most requested features: Automations!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Automations?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cWhat can be automated, should be automated.\u201d – With this guiding principle in mind, we\u2019ve worked to provide you with a powerful, yet easily accessible tool that can be utilized in a wide range of scenarios and environments.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Easy Start<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Our automation suggestions enable you to immediately benefit from the advantages of automation, even if you\u2019re new to this area.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Deep Automation Capabilities<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

For experienced users, we\u2019ve developed a comprehensive automation engine that allows for extensive customized automation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How it Works<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The basic principle is simple yet effective: \u201cWHEN something happens, THEN do something.\u201d For instance, when a task is marked as \u201ccompleted\u201d, the completion date is automatically set to \u201ctoday\u201d. This is just the beginning; we\u2019ll be adding more triggers and actions in the future, including integrations with external systems.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to get started<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

You\u2019ll now find a special \u201cAutomation\u201d button in the header of each project. Additionally, you can set specific automation options within the project settings. And the best part: automation is even possible across multiple projects!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Forms for Projects and Collections<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thanks to our Zenforms app, forms have been available for a while. Now, we\u2019re utilizing this technology to optimize the workflow in Zenkit Projects and Zenkit Base. With the Form View, you can easly create forms for your projects and collections.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Forms as the Default Input<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

You can now configure your project (collection) to only allow adding tasks via form, replacing the usual \u201cAdd\u201d function. This ensures that you always gather all the necessary information during creation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Forms in the Dashboard<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

With our new Action Widget, you can launch frequently used forms directly from your home screen or a dashboard. This Action Widget also allows shortcuts to websites.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ICal Integration and Optimized Calendar<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can now integrate external calendars into Zenkit using the iCal interface. This allows you to incorporate external calendar data, such as holidays, into your planning. Additionally, we\u2019ve improved our calendar: you can nor only move appointments within the calendar using drag & drop but also adjust their duration.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Last but not Least<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

We hope these new features will make your workflow even more efficient. We\u2019re eager to hear your feedback and encourage you to share your thoughts and wishes with us.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We hope you\u2019ll enjoy our new automation feature!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
