Workers

Tasks and delegation

Delegate work that runs unattended: schedules, modes decided at creation, steps, run now, reports, skipped actions and the work board.

La documentación está en inglés y turco, como la interfaz de Harmona. Esta página se muestra en inglés.

A task is work you hand to your Worker to do without you. You describe the outcome, choose when it runs and decide once how it may act. Each run happens in the task's own conversation and ends with a report.

Create a task

Ask in the chat, for example “every Monday at 9, list what is due this week”. The Worker shows a Delegate a task card with the schedule; click Approve. To fill in the form yourself, click New task on the Tasks tile.

Field	What to enter
Title	A short name.
What should the Worker do?	A brief to a colleague: what to look at, what to produce, where it goes.
When	Once, Daily, Weekly, Monthly or an Interval of at least 30 minutes. Leave a one-off time empty to start right away. For a recurring task, Also run once right away runs it now as well.
Steps	Optional. With steps the task becomes a job (see below).
How it acts	Auto or External only. Decided once, for every run; you can change it later.

How a task acts

A task never stops to ask during a run. Your consent is given when you create it:

Auto acts without asking.
External only does in-app work on its own, but skips anything that leaves Harmona or deletes something. Skipped actions are listed in the report for your approval.

Atención

An Auto task acts with your access on every run, with nobody watching: it can send mail from your account or change records in connected apps. Start with External only, read a few reports, and switch to Auto only once the task does what you expect.

Some things a task never does, whatever the mode: change the Worker's toolbox, share access, create or change tasks, or change rules. A task runs as the member who created it, with that person's access. If that member leaves the Worker, the task pauses.

An Auto task also has a limit on automatic actions. When it is reached, the remaining actions wait on the board for your approval.

Runs, reports and controls

Each finished run sends a Task finished item to the creator's inbox. A failed run sends Task failed; after three failures in a row the task pauses and sends Task paused.
On the Tasks tile, use Run now, Pause, Resume, Edit, Open conversation or Remove task. Run now on a paused task runs it once without restarting its schedule.
Under the latest run, Skipped — needs your approval lists what an External only run did not do. Approve and do these runs the task once more, right away, to carry out exactly those actions.
Tasks added from a starter pack begin paused. Click Enable to start them; that is your one-time consent.

Jobs: tasks with steps

Add steps and the task becomes a job. The Worker works through the steps one at a time, run after run, and the job is done only when every step is. Each step shows Pending, In progress, Done, Blocked or Skipped. You can Mark done, Reopen or Skip a step yourself. When you hand a larger piece of work over in chat, the Worker may take it over as a job; the card says Taken over as a job and the result comes back to that chat when every step is done.

The work board

Click Open board in the Worker header to see all work in lanes. Drag a card onto a lane to act on it, or use its buttons.

Lane	What is in it
Backlog	Work about to start, including paused tasks you can enable.
Scheduled	Work planned for later.
Worker is on it	Runs in progress and jobs between runs.
Needs you	Skipped actions, tasks that failed or were paused, due reminders and stale tiles.
Done	Reports from the last 7 days.

Every card in Needs you can be dismissed. A dismissed card comes back if the tile fails again after recovering, or the task fails again.
