The Automations plugin extends Redmine with advanced automation and integration capabilities, empowering users to define and execute custom workflows triggered by a comprehensive range of Redmine events. The plugin enables both administrators and project managers to streamline routine tasks, enforce business rules, and minimise manual intervention—significantly improving efficiency, accuracy, and consistency across projects.
In addition to automating internal Redmine operations, the plugin enhances Redmine’s integration capabilities by providing a dedicated “Send web request” action. This feature enables automatic, condition-based communication with external third-party systems (such as ticketing, CRM, or notification platforms), thereby supporting seamless interoperability and advanced process automation beyond Redmine itself.
Furthermore, Automations extends Redmine’s notification features. The configurable “Send email” action allows users to specify targeted, automated email notifications based on complex conditions, ensuring the right stakeholders are informed at precisely the right time.
