Effi Automation

Control Rules and Packs that Effi runs for your workspace

Effi Automation

Effi Automation is where you control what Effi watches and runs for your workspace — background checks (Rules) and workflow bundles (Packs). Alerts and suggested goals show up in the Action Center. You can also ask Effi in chat for some on-demand reports.

Where to find it

Open Effi Automation in the sidebar.

The page has two tabs:

  • Rules — checks you can turn on or off one by one
  • Packs — workflow bundles you switch as a set

Available on Free and Pro. Some rules and pack workflows require Pro.

What you can do

  • Browse rules grouped by area (receivables, expenses, cash planning, month-end, approvals)
  • Enable or disable individual rules
  • See each rule’s schedule, last run, and status
  • Open the Packs tab to see your active pack and switch packs when more than one is offered
  • Follow up on alerts and goals in the Action Center

Typical workflows

Open automation settings

  1. Click Effi Automation in the sidebar
  2. Start on the Rules tab to review what Effi is checking
  3. Switch to Packs to see which workflow bundle is active

Mute a noisy rule

  1. Find the rule in its section (for example Receivables & invoicing)
  2. Turn the On/Off toggle off
  3. The rule stops running until you turn it back on

Act on something Effi found

  1. Open Action Center from the sidebar
  2. Review the alert or suggested goal
  3. Approve, dismiss, or open the related invoice or expense

Notes

  • Schedule times are shown on each rule but cannot be changed in the app today
  • Detailed thresholds (for example “alert after N days”) are not editable yet — only on or off
  • If a rule is off, it will not create new alerts until you turn it back on
