# Rules that move designs and orders along.

Automations: part of Pixonaut, web-to-print software. An automation runs its actions when something happens to a design, a print or an order, and its conditions hold.

Plans: Pro and Business.

[Automations](https://docs.pixonaut.app/concepts/automations/)

## When

A design is committed, approved, or its customer asks for changes or gives an address; a print is made or fails; an order is placed, moves, fails, is cancelled or changes its delivery.

## Then

- Approve the design, make its print, place its order
- Retry a failed order at another printshop, or cancel it
- Notify members, or email someone who is not one
- Call a webhook endpoint
- Filter, branch, wait for something to happen, or wait a while

## Every run, recorded

Each time an automation fires, it records what each action did: done, skipped, blocked or failed, with the reason. Start from a recipe, such as approving on commit or ordering once printed.
