Creating Automations

What is an Automation?

• Automations allow you to perform a wide variety of tasks efficiently.
• Automations apply a function to a Speckle model.
• Automations enable you to configure a function to meet your specific requirements.

For example, a function might render a photograph-quality image of a model. Automation allows you to specify parameters such as the camera position, lighting, and other settings to customise the output for your particular Speckle model.

Creating an Automation

Automations are created from the Automations tab within a project.

💡 **Function Availability**

The library view includes both public functions [Coming Soon] and any private functions created for the Workspace if the project is a Workspace project created for your team. This ensures all team-specific and public resources are accessible during automation setup.
