Automation

Repetitive manual work is the silent tax on every team's productivity. Lodos Automation gives teams a visual node-based editor to build automated workflows without writing code. Drag trigger nodes onto the canvas — events like form submissions, schedule timers, or task status changes — connect them to action nodes like sending notifications, creating tasks, or updating records, and the automation runs whenever the trigger condition is met. No developer required, no YAML config, no separate automation platform subscription.

The workflow editor uses a grid-based canvas where nodes snap into logical positions and connector lines make data flow visually explicit. Conditional branching lets automations follow different paths depending on data values — create a task only when a priority threshold is exceeded, send an alert only outside business hours, or route a request to different team members based on type. Automations can be triggered on demand for testing or scheduled to run at defined intervals.

Teams across every function find uses for Automation: marketing teams auto-create tasks when campaigns go live, developers trigger notification workflows on deployment events, operations teams run scheduled data checks and report generation. Because Automation is integrated into the Lodos workspace, workflows can interact with other modules directly — adding items to Task Management, posting messages to Social Hive, or tagging files in Lodrive — without API configuration or webhook engineering.
