What we shipped: Q1 2020 in review
The Karbon product team was as busy as ever during the first three months of 2020.
Below, you'll find a brief summary of every #KarbonUpdate released in January, February and March.
New Global Automators
Global Automators let customers adjust settings that update your workflows, tasks and work statuses automatically. Three new Global Automators were added to give more control:
Set a default status for an Email when it is assigned to someone (eg. Ready To Start)
Set a default status for a Note when it is assigned to someone (eg. Ready To Start)
Update the status of Work containing Client Tasks, when 5 client task reminders have been sent and the client tasks still aren't complete
New Tasklist Automators
Tasklist Automators allow you to apply ‘if this, then that’ rules to task sections in your work items and templates. Since they were introduced to Karbon, you have had the ability to automatically update the status of tasks or a work item can be set to update based on what happens to other tasks.
A new option was added to automatically update the due date or assignee of a task section, or the entire work item.
This gives the ability to trigger automatic workflows such as:
When the work status changes to Ready To Start, change the due date for all tasks in a section to 3 days after the Automator is triggered
When all Client Tasks are marked Complete, change the due date for the work item to 14 days after the work item is triggered
When all Tasks in a section are marked
