Automation Activity & History
Automation Activity & History
Use Automation Activity to see what ran, when it ran, and whether it succeeded. This helps you verify outcomes and troubleshoot issues.
Where to find it
- Go to Business App > Administration > Automations
- Open an automation
- Select the Activity tab to review recent runs
What you’ll see
- Entity: The record the run acted on (for example, Contact or Company)
- Automation: The workflow name
- Starting user: Who initiated the run (system or a user)
- Time: When the last step in the run occurred
- Stage: Current status of the run
Run stages
- Completed: The run finished successfully
- Running: The workflow is in progress and steps update in real time
- Canceled: The run was stopped before completion
Troubleshooting tips
- Check data requirements: Make sure required fields (for example, phone for SMS) exist
- Review error handling: In Settings, choose whether to continue on step error or stop the run
- Reduce noise: Add Conditions so the automation runs only when needed
- Avoid duplicates: Use the Entry settings (Only once / Multiple / One at a time) appropriately
Pro tips
- Test first: Trigger the automation with a test record before enabling broadly
- Monitor early: Review Activity after enabling to confirm expected behavior
- Log context: Use tags or fields so you can filter runs and outcomes later
The Knowledge Base is where you centralize all the information your AI Employees need to provide accurate, helpful responses to your customers. Think of it as the shared library that all your AI team members can reference when answering questions about your business.
What is your Knowledge Base?
Your Knowledge Base is a collection of information sources that your AI Employees can access during conversations. This includes:
- Business Profile Information – Your basic business details, hours, location, and services
- Website Content – Pages from your website that contain relevant customer information
- Custom Documents – Uploaded files like FAQs, price lists, policies, or procedures
- Manual Knowledge Entries – Custom text you’ve written specifically for your AI team
How AI Employees Use Knowledge
When a customer asks a question, your AI Employee:
- Understands what the customer is asking
- Searches through your Knowledge Base for relevant information
- Provides an accurate answer based on your business information
- Falls back to general assistance if no specific knowledge is found
Benefits of a Well-Maintained Knowledge Base
- Consistent Answers – All AI Employees give the same accurate information
- Reduced Training Time – New AI Employees instantly have access to business knowledge
- Better Customer Experience – Customers get precise, up-to-date answers
- Time Savings – Less need for human intervention in routine inquiries
Best Practices
Keep Information Current
- Review and update your Knowledge Base regularly
- Remove outdated pricing, policies, or service information
- Add new products, services, or procedures as they become available
Organize by Topic
- Group related information together
- Use clear, descriptive titles for documents
- Create separate entries for different aspects of your business
Write for AI Understanding
- Use clear, direct language
- Include specific details and examples
- Avoid ambiguous terms or internal jargon
Test and Iterate
- Monitor how your AI Employees use the knowledge
- Identify gaps where customers aren’t getting good answers
- Add missing information based on common questions
Getting Started
To build an effective Knowledge Base:
- Start with the basics – Add your business profile and key website pages
- Identify common questions – What do customers ask most often?
- Create targeted content – Write specific answers for frequent inquiries
- Test with your AI – See how well your AI can answer questions with the current knowledge
- Expand gradually – Add more detailed information as you identify gaps
A strong Knowledge Base is the foundation of effective AI Employee performance. The time you invest in creating comprehensive, accurate knowledge sources will pay dividends in better customer interactions and reduced manual support needs.
