Robot Actions and Testing

Play Maker Play Automation with Robots Robot Actions and Testing

The video and topic below detail the actions a Robot can complete (up to two) once the correct records have been identified. It also describes how and why a Robot should be tested before clicking the Save button.
The video also describes how a Robot can be triggered (with Salesforce Workflow Rules) to fire immediately instead of waiting for 10 minutes.

Below is a summary of configuration details for each Robot action.

To track Play success, a task report can filter for the Playbooks Step Success checkbox.
