What Are Bots?

Bots are custom workflows that allow you to automate behaviors in your Assetbots database. Each bot is triggered by an event, can be limited by custom rules and conditions, can be delayed and repeated, and finally can perform one or more actions.

You can create as many bots as you like, but you are limited in how many you can enable at a time by your plan:

• Free: 0 bots enabled
• Starter: 0 bots enabled
• Growth: 15 bots enabled
• Scale: 100 bots enabled

Assetbots ships with several bot samples to help you get started. Depending on which database template you use to create your database, the sample bots provide you the following automations:

• Auto Due Date

  Automatically set checkout due dates to one month in the future.

• Check In Lost Assets

  Automatically check in assets when the Lost label is applied.

• Overdue Checkout

  Send an email notification to borrowers when their checkout is overdue. Automatically repeat the email every 2 days up to 3 times.

• Reservation Confirmation

  Send a confirmation email to borrowers when assets are reserved for them.

• Warranty Expiring

  Apply a Warranty Expiring or Needs Review label (depending on which label is available in your database) 1 month before an asset’s warranty is set to expire.
