Zoho Projects: Automation Credits

Automation Credits

Automation in Zoho Projects simplifies project management by automating repetitive and rule based work processes in projects, tasks, time logs or user management. It enables real time updates, monitored deadlines, and timely user notification.
In Zoho Projects, using the Automation functionality, users can create Workflow Rules, Macro Rules, and Blueprints. Each automation, whether project's or task's, time log's or user's, utilises a credit to be executed. The number of credit allotted to a portal varies from plan to plan.

Credits as per subscription plan:
Earlier, automation actions were supported only in Enterprise plan. Now with credits, it will be available for all plans. Below are the Credits availability details as per each plan.
