How to Play an Automation from the Home Screen

In today's fast-paced digital world, automation has become a game-changer for increasing productivity and efficiency. Imagine having the power to streamline repetitive tasks with just a click of a button from your home screen. In this blog post, we will delve into the ins and outs of playing and automating tasks directly from your workspace.

The play automation feature on your home screen is a hidden gem that can revolutionize the way you manage your automations. By simply clicking the play automation button next to the task you want to run, you can kickstart the process using either your last saved trigger data or scheduled data.

Once you initiate the automation, all updates and progress can be monitored in traffic control, conveniently located on the right side of your screen. This real-time visibility allows you to stay informed about the status of your tasks and ensures smooth execution.

If you find yourself needing to run the same automation multiple times, the system intelligently queues the tasks to avoid any conflicts or overlapping processes. This feature ensures that each automation is executed efficiently, one after the other, without causing any disruptions.

With a simple click on the play button, the browser launches immediately to run your chosen automation. Whether it's fetching data from Google Sheets or performing specific actions, the process is seamless and hassle-free.

In conclusion, mastering the art of playing and automating tasks from your home screen can significantly boost your productivity and free up valuable time for more critical activities. By leveraging the play automation feature and understanding how to queue tasks effectively, you can take your automation game to the next level.

Okay. So we were going to go over the playing and automation from your home screen. So this is super useful. If you have a workspace with a bunch of automations that maybe they don't have a schedule, but they're very useful automations that you sometimes run. Uh, maybe it's refreshing all the people you're going to message, follow things like that, whatever it is.

What we can do is next to the automation that we want to run, all we will need to do is click this play automation button, and it'll either run with our last saved trigger data, if we have a trigger, or if we're using a schedule, or if we're using the list trigger, it'll get the Google sheet data again, assuming we're using it.

To start the automation, we can see all of the updates for the automation in traffic control, which is what we'll open on the right over here. After I click play, the other thing to know about this is if you want to play the same automation multiple times, it's automatically going to queue the automations because you can't run two of the same automations.

Or two of the same automation sharing a browser profile it at the same time, those will automatically be queued for you. So if you want to tell them to run and you don't mind that they might take a little bit longer, cause it'll run one and then the next, that'll still be really useful for you. So to play these, all we're going to need to do is click play over here, and then we'll see traffic control open on the right.

And this will immediately launch the browser to run our automation. Then if we wanted to cue this, like I was saying, I'll go ahead and click this a second time. The automation just opened in the background there, and we'll see that it has this cue symbol, letting us know that this is waiting for the other automation to finish before it is continuing or starting at least.
