About Automations
The Automations feature in Ergonode is designed to simplify and streamline tasks related to managing your Product Catalog.
Unlike user limits, inactive automations are counted against the license.
Automations will be gradually deployed to all customers with a license that includes this feature.
By automating repetitive processes, you can save time, reduce errors, and enhance productivity. This guide will walk you through the basics of setting up and using automations.

What Are Automations?
Automations are sequences of actions triggered by specific conditions to perform tasks automatically. They can be used for a variety of purposes, such as:
Automatically classifying products into categories.
Generating product descriptions or names.
Introducing changes across large datasets.
Translating product attributes into multiple languages.
Benefits of Automations
Automations in Ergonode offer several advantages:
Time Savings: Reduce manual tasks and focus on strategic activities.
Consistency: Ensure uniformity across product data and descriptions.
Scalability: Manage large catalogs efficiently without increasing workload.
Error Reduction: Minimize human errors in repetitive tasks like categorization or attribute updates.
Creating Effective Automations
To build powerful automations:
Define clear objectives for what you want to automate.
Start with simple automations before creating complex workflows.
Test thoroughly on a small set of products before applying them to your entire catalog.
Monitor performance and refine as needed.
Document your automations for team knowledge sharing.
Examples of Automations
Example 1: Automated Product Classification
Automatically classify products into categories based on keywords in their names or descriptions:
If a product name contains keywords like "Sneakers" or "Boots," assign it to the category "Shoes."
If a description includes specific phrases, assign additional categories like "New Collection."
Example 2: Price Validation
Prevent errors by ensuring price attributes meet specific criteria:
Set conditions for "promotion_price" and "catalog_price."
If prices fall outside acceptable ranges, change the product status to "Review Required."
Example 3: Attribute Updates Based on Other Attributes
For textile products:
If an attribute like “Care Code” equals a specific value (e.g., "w30-bin-drn-ir1-dcn"), update related attributes:
Washing = “Gentle, 30°C”
Dry Clean = “No”
Ironing = “Max. 110°C”
Ergonode’s automations integrate AI capabilities to further enhance functionality.
Example 4: Automated Content Generation
Generate unique product descriptions tailored for different channels:
Use product attributes to create SEO-friendly and platform-specific content.
Example 5: Grammar Checking
Improve brand perception by ensuring error-free content:
Add a rule to detect and correct grammatical or spelling errors without altering key product information.
Example 6: Translate Content
Save time using AI to translate the content to different languiages automatically:
Ensure translated text maintains the original context and tone for accuracy across different markets.
