🌟 News | Automation event improved

Hello, everyone. 

Today we come with a minor yet huge improvement in automations.  
 

Previously, when creating automation with the event "when a card enters a phase" if the card was being created [start form] the automation wouldn't work because, technically, the card couldn't 'enter the phase' if it was not created yet and it would require to change the automation event to "when a card is created".
 

Confusing, right? :thinking: We had many support tickets with this problem, and we'd need to explain the problem was in the 'logic' behind the start form is not a phase. :sweat:
 

To fix this problem and prevent friction, we have now allowed cards from the start form to work with both events. No matter if you select "when a card is created" or "when a card enters a phase" for cards coming from the start form, the automation will work regardless.
 

In case you find any problems with new or current automations, please open a card with our support team immediately. Thank you! :hugging:

Perfect timing for me! I just activated two automations to create a card in one pipe when a card "arrives" at another pipe. I used "card created" in one and "card enters phase" on other.

Awesome Pipefy team!
