Getting started

DoTenX helps you automate workflows with no-code. You can also use DoTenX to create SaaS, web or mobile applications.

Nothing is like learning by doing, so let's do the same here to learn DoTenX.

Pill reminder

In this example, we create an automation that reminds us to take a pill every 8 hours. To be more clear, we want to receive a message on Slack and an email every 8 hours, reminding us to take a pill.

After logging in, click on My DoTenX to open the Automation Studio.

Use Automation Studio to automate any workflows Open Automation Studio

In the Automation Studio, click on + New Automation to start creating an automation.

Now we can add Taskstask and Triggerstrigger by simply dragging and dropping them from the menu on the right side.

Let's start by adding a Trigger that starts the automation every 8 hours by following these steps:

  • Add a Trigger
  • Click on the Cog to open the menu

  • Add a Task

We Finally add the Tasks to send an email whenever it's time to take the next pill by following these steps:
