Which events can start an AI automation?<\/h4>\r\nAt the moment, an automation can run when a sales order is created, completed or cancelled. It can also run on a schedule you choose: daily, weekly, monthly or just once. More options for when it runs are on the way.\r\n

Do I need to write code?<\/h4>\r\nNo. You tell Clarus AI what to do by typing it out, the same way you'd ask Clarus AI a question. Write your rules the way you'd explain them to a new starter, then say what you want it to change. There's nothing to program or configure behind the scenes.\r\n

How does it know which order to work on?<\/h4>\r\nWhen an automation runs, Clarus AI is given the order that started it. So you don't need to tell it which order to look at. Your instruction can simply say \"check this order\" and it already has the details in front of it.\r\n

What should a good instruction include?<\/h4>\r\nEverything it needs to finish the job, because it runs when nobody is around to answer questions. Include your rules, which order to check them in, what to do if none of them apply, and exactly what to change at the end. Numbering your rules and asking it to use the first one that matches keeps things clear.\r\n

How do I know what it changed?<\/h4>\r\nAsk it to explain itself, for example by adding a note to the order. In our demo, every change came with a note saying what was changed and why. That gives your team an easy way to check its work.\r\n

Can it just advise rather than change things?<\/h4>\r\nYes. You decide what it's allowed to do in your instruction. For example, it could add a note suggesting a different delivery service and leave the order as it is. Many teams start this way, read the notes for a week or so, and then let it make the changes.\r\n

Does it use AI credits?<\/h4>\r\nYes. Each time an automation runs, it uses AI from the same monthly allowance your team uses when they ask Clarus AI questions. An automation that runs on every sales order will use AI every time, so it's worth keeping an eye on the busy ones.\r\n

How do I get it switched on?<\/h4>\r\nSpeak to your Customer Success Manager, who can set it up on your account. They can also help you write your first instruction and check it's working as expected.","test":"","feature_result_widget_test_":""},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
