Task Agent Automation
Automate Smarter with Argos Task Agent
Streamline workflows, improve accuracy, and free up your team with intelligent task automation that works behind the scenes.
Task Agent is a powerful automation engine built into the Argos platform. It executes jobs based on two flexible triggers: scheduled timing or real-time system events. Whether you need daily reports or immediate reactions to data changes, Task Agent ensures that routine and critical tasks are executed accurately, every time—without manual effort.
Scheduled Tasks
Run jobs at pre-defined times—daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or custom intervals—ideal for recurring reports, billing processes, and administrative workflows.
Trigger-Based Tasks
Automatically respond to real-time events in the system such as new records, status changes, or database updates.
Multi-Step Job Sequences
Chain multiple actions together in one task, like running a report, formatting it, and emailing it to the right people.
Data-Driven Activation
Monitor field-level changes, record insertions, deletions, or updates to launch specific tasks based on operational needs.
Full Argos Integration
Works seamlessly across all Argos modules—warehouse, greenhouse, yard, and more—ensuring cross-functional automation.
Conditional Logic Execution
Build smarter tasks with if/then logic. Only run steps when certain conditions are met—like customer type, order priority, or warehouse location—so you can tailor automation to match real-world complexity.
Scheduled Automation
Task Agent lets you schedule tasks to run at specific intervals—daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or even custom frequencies. This is ideal for routine operations like generating reports, sending reminders, or running billing cycles. Once configured, these tasks execute automatically without user intervention. It helps your team stay on track and eliminates the risk of missing time-sensitive responsibilities.
Event-Based Triggers
This is perfect for workflows that rely on system events—like notifying teams when a high-priority order is placed or updating inventory when shipments are received. With Task Agent, your processes can adapt the moment something changes. Go beyond time-based automation with real-time responsiveness. Task Agent can launch tasks when a specific action occurs in the system, such as a new record being created, a status being updated, or a record being deleted
Multi-Step Task Sequences
Many workflows require more than one action to be effective—and Task Agent handles that with ease. You can chain multiple steps into a single task, such as running a report, formatting it, and emailing it to multiple teams. This ensures that follow-up actions happen consistently and in the correct order, without the need for manual coordination. It’s a reliable way to standardize complex workflows across departments.
Data Monitoring and Change Detection
Task Agent actively watches for changes in your data to determine when a task should be triggered. Whether it’s an insert, update, or delete operation, you can configure it to respond to specific field values or database conditions. This is especially useful for compliance tasks, data synchronization, or quality control processes. It allows you to create highly responsive workflows that reflect the real-time state of your operation.
Conditional Logic and Filtering
Task Agent can evaluate certain conditions—like customer type, warehouse location, or order total—before deciding whether to run a task or skip it. This adds flexibility and precision to your workflows, allowing you to tailor automation to specific business rules. It reduces unnecessary processing and ensures tasks only run when relevant. Make your automation smarter with built-in conditional logic.
Integrated Communication
Task Agent doesn’t just run tasks—it keeps your team informed. With built-in support for emailing reports, sending alerts, or pushing notifications, it ensures the right people know what’s happening and when. You can specify different recipients for different tasks or outcomes, improving visibility and collaboration across departments. It’s an essential feature for operations where timing, accountability, and communication are key.
