For a small area (mushroom tank) I have plugged a Mini Humidifier into a Humidity Controller. It's a little awkward because the humidifier has a toggle on/off button, but I found that if I rubber-band it into the pressed position, it works.
Automating the execution of complex CRUD operations on the basis of events happening or at a scheduled time has been a top use case for our customers. We also learned that connecting with external tools AND appending complex rule-based branching has not been easy for customers to find in other popular automation builders.
So we have worked hard to make this update meaningful. You can add complex rule-based branching, database connections, form submissions, report generations, and lots more. With the new Automations, it becomes super simple to create complex task automation workflows using a drag and drop interface.
Here is what has evolved in Automation 2.0
- Automation now has its own process builder to help build processes visually with drag and drop
- It inherits a very powerful builder capable of writing complex automation rules. You may edit and add a branching logic anywhere in the flow.

I'd use Zapier or Integromat. Here's a webpage that contains some of the ingredients you'd need to do this with Zapier:

What is the source of your images? Zapier integrates with some image libraries, which can be searched for in the app.
If you’re familiar with Zapier, the agency at Luhhu made a tutorial on assigning inbound leads in round robin fashion.

There’s also an elaborate way you can approximate this with Airtable:

Not that I know of (FBD is not OOP AFAIK).
But I just happened to find this: CodeSYS V3 OOP
Best low-fi way to speed things up then would be just be text expansion software.
If you’re familiar with these, you could have an entry in the software for each client, and when triggered each of those form fields are completed in sequence by the text expansion replacement. Most support the use of tabs, so you could move from field to field.
Unfortunate your boss doesn’t appreciate automation more. Shortsighted.
If it were me and the threat of being fired wasn’t there, I would plow forward with that custom PDF though. If called out, let it be after you’ve shown you’re 35% faster than your colleagues, with a higher degree of accuracy as well, since you’ve wiped out the potential for more human error with your form customizations.
I have a kit and went through all of the examples and just played a lot with mixing them together. I haven't had a big project yet.
What about you?
