Why Universal Automation Matters

In traditional software stacks, your CRM, project management tool, and HR system are separate apps. To make them work together, you rely on clunky, third-party integration tools that are brittle, limited, and create yet another system to manage.
Luklak’s Universal Automation is fundamentally different. Because every process in Luklak is built on the 🧊 Universal Object, our automation engine is not an external add-on; it’s a native, universal layer woven into the fabric of the platform.
This allows you to build a powerful, reliable “digital workforce” that can automate entire value streams—from a new lead in your CRM Function triggering a project kick-off in your Operations Function—without ever leaving the platform.

​
The Core Principle: Trigger → Condition → Action

Every automation rule in Luklak, from the simplest to the most complex, follows a simple, logical pattern:

1. Trigger

The event that starts the automation. This could be an 🧊 Object being created, a field being updated, a specific time of day, or an incoming signal from another app.

2. Condition

The logical check that determines if the automation should proceed. It acts as a smart filter, ensuring the rule only runs when your specific criteria are met.

3. Action

The work that the automation performs. This can be anything from updating a field and sending a message to creating a new 🧊 Object or calling an external system.

Because Luklak’s automation is universal, you can do things that are impossible in other systems without complex code. An update to a 🧊 Customer Object in your CRM can automatically create a 🧊 Task Object in your Project Management Function. No external integration tool is required.
