A canvas for your logic in Tulip
Simplify your app building with logic that can work with all of the resources.
How Automations can help you
Stay alerted on machine changes
Maximize equipment uptime with machine downtime alerts and scheduled maintenance
- Get real-time alerts when machine states change
- Trigger maintenance schedules automatically
- Log downtime data directly into your tables for full visibility
- Respond instantly with instructions or alerts to operators when issues occur
Schedule reminders and tasks
Send training reminders to team members at the start of each week
- Dispatch work on a schedule
- Send reminders over email, SMS, or other business systems
- Schedule weekly training reminders for your team
- Ensure every operator is assigned the right tasks and training
Process data from all of your systems
Know what is happening in your production
- When a row, like a unique work order, is updated in a table
- Run a connector to update the record in your ERP system
- Automations can help you create logic that runs in the cloud, pushing and pulling data between your systems to ensure everyone is in the loop.
How it works
Define a critical operational event in Tulip—such as a machine stop or new ERP record—to kick off your headless workflow. Use action blocks, AI prompt actions, or composable agents to perform automated tasks, connect to external systems for data I/O, and orchestrate your logic flow with powerful decisions and loops to drive efficiency.
“Automations is going to help us glue everything together in our operation.”
Ryan Infantozzi, Systems Engineer at VEKA Inc.
