How it works

How it fits in an automated task

A Botize task pairs a trigger with one or more actions. This piece is one of them.

Pick a trigger

The event that starts the task, from this app or any other.

This action runs

Botize performs it automatically using the data the trigger delivers.

Turn it on and forget it

The task runs on its own from then on. If something's off, tweak it or we'll help you.
