Noted. We are still a few weeks away from enabling these features, but aggregating a wait list for now.

Signed up via the form but…

You can’t choose a ...@gmail.com address despite that being the email for one of my Appsheet accounts

There’s a typo of “United Kindgom” which seems to be invalid as well. So I’m a temporarty American for now

In fact scrap that… I cant get the form to submit at all.

Sounds super exciting!

Looks like we are able to build up process automation set ups, like Zap or other automation service, within appsheet as a platform!!!

On this sample demo, Salesforce was used. I hope there would be other native connectors for external services available as well.

Another new integration with Apigee would get involved in this Appsheet Automation? If so, it would make sense.

Koichi_Tsuji

It might be bit too early stage you mention to the subscription stuffs.

In terms of apigee integration, app creators needs business subscription.

What about this Appsheet new Automation Process feature? Can be used by pro plan and over ?

Looks great… I’ve signed up via the link… Many thanks…

Process automation sounds superb ! but will this be available for self service plans (pro /premium)
as we dont need business plans for our small team.

Hossam_Khalil

now this looks amazing, in love with your innovations

aucforum

Ohhhhhh… I like I like I like!

I hope this will make design and debugging And documenting the application easier?

Also I could see some potential in a variation or enhancement of the feature to show end users where they are in the overall process of the application a bit like watching where you are on a subway map while being in the train.

In the works

Yes, once you have more than 10 actions and as many views in an application it’s exponentially taking more mental energy and concentration to a point it’s discouraging to enhance it further at times. Managing the development of an application with a process centric orientation, as one of a mix of methods, will go a long way to restoring the appeal of enhancing the application further.

Former Community Member

Thats one of the design goals @aucforum, a unified platform for apps and automations. Workflow rules worked great for what they were designed for - which is execute a sequence of actions in the background. Many customers have been asking for first class support for processes both system and human centric. So here we are, more to come.

As someone that creates bots using UiPath and the likes how set are y’all on that name? Not really a bot more of an automatic workflow 2.0 to me, from the video it literally looks like just an extended workflow combined into one new thing. Takes the actual coding work out of making a longer workflow which is great none the less.
Don’t know if my whole domain will want to sign up by I sure did

Former Community Member

Thanks @Austin_Lambeth workflow 2.0 for now, more interesting feature additions on the way. At the minimum it provides a designer to model your process, increased grammar - branching, wait/state and more importantly support for external events. For eg: kick off this process when a new order object is created in Salesforce - more on the “bot” front in coming months.

Koichi_Tsuji

Sounds like we are able to set “async” on demand of app creators. You guys are super awesome.

Austin

we get more???

If I could get absolutevaporfoco@gmail.com registered I’d love to play with it and debug.

Former Community Member

Please use the linked form to sign up. We will update here when we get close to having folks try it out.

It doesn’t accept gmail’s and that’s all I have.

Jonathan_S

Great!

Wanted to provide a quick update on the Early Access signup. We are working on including additional features (intent aware suggestions, monitoring) to make the early access experience better and hence its taking a little longer than we initially thought. We are targeting early Q1 2021 for this early access release to be available for folks who have signed up for it.

Jonathan_S

Awesome

I click on the REGISTER button but nothing happens. I can neither see a confirmation nor an error.

@Peter can you help with this?

peterdykstra

Hey @LeventK are you seeing this form? If you can refresh or try incognito, and make sure all fields are completed, it should work (there was some strange behavior previously with the wrong form displaying)

LeventK

Thanks for the tip @Peter. It worked with the incognito.

Wow…

Excited…

Hi @prithpal ! As it looks like “automation” is becoming a permanent part of the AppSheet toolkit, how about an “automation” tag for this forum. There may not be many threads about automation yet but I’m sure that much more discussion is to come. Currently, if we just search for the word “automation” we get all kinds of hits that aren’t at all relevant (“automatically” etc.).

Perhaps you can help with this, @JCadence, if you have time.

The tag should come right after “action” in the following:
