What are Tasks? Tasks (or jobs) are basic units that grant core functionality of Automation Workshop. Tasks generally include Triggers (activation conditions), Actions (performed operations) as well as monitoring, logging, and reporting options.
Use Actions and Triggers to automate repetitive tasks in Windows. All automatic work is defined in the Tasks. View automation tutorials for inspiration!
