Introduction To Automation

PrimeCal automation is built around one idea: if the same calendar work repeats, turn it into a rule.

How Automation Fits

1. Create

Build the rule

Name the rule, choose the trigger, add conditions if needed, and define one or more actions.

2. Filter

Find the right rule fast

Use search and enabled or disabled filters to keep the rule list manageable.

3. Run

Execute when needed

Let rules run automatically or trigger them manually from the rule detail page.

4. Review

Check the history

Use execution history to confirm what worked, what was skipped, and what needs adjustment.

What Users Usually Automate

• recoloring or moving imported events
• creating follow-up tasks from meeting patterns
• sending notifications after important changes
• standardizing event titles or descriptions
• applying routines to repeated family or work events

Best Practices

• Start with one small rule and confirm it behaves correctly before building more.
• Use clear names so the rule list stays easy to scan.
• Keep conditions explicit when the cost of a wrong match is high.
• Review execution history after every meaningful change.
