Introduction

Auto Tasks provide the ability to execute processes from Custom Buttons on different entity views in apps on the Hornbill platform. Auto tasks are similar to business processes, however differ in that they do not contain stages, can't be paused, don't use tasks or approvals, or have options for the process to be suspended. When executed the Auto Task processes will simply start > Execute > End. An Auto Task process can contain many process nodes and can execute many actions from a single custom button. Auto Task processes can be configured using the Auto Task Designer
