UI Bakery Automations

UI Bakery Automations enable you to build and run complex server-side workflows based on one or multiple data sources such as SQL databases, HTTP APIs, and many more. You can run these workflows through webhooks or on a scheduled basis, like cron jobs. Automations run on the server in the Node.js environment.

Use cases

You can create multi-step workflows based on your data sources for a variety of purposes. These may include simple ETL operations, alerting, data source synchronization, and many others.

By using data from different sources such as SQL databases, HTTP APIs, Google Spreadsheets, CRMs, and other integrations in a single workflow, you can apply conditional logic, loops, and asynchronous operations for more complex scenarios.

Triggering Automations

UI Bakery Automation allows you to run workflows

• at specific times - like cron jobs

• by triggering webhooks

Automations can be integrated with third-party systems using secured token-based webhooks, allowing you to extend their functionalities.

Errored Notifications

In the Automations interface, you have the option to configure email error notifications. Upon an error, the system sends an automated email to the admin email addresses configured within your UI Bakery account.

Notification Frequency: In the event of continuous errors, the system is designed to send follow-up emails at specified intervals. The default interval is set to send new emails every hour after each failure. This interval helps to avoid spamming your inbox while still keeping you informed if the issue persists.
