Automations - Workflow Automation for XenForo 1.0.0

Eggy Automations 1.0.0​

Automate everyday XenForo administration with powerful, configurable workflows.

Eggy Automations is a premium XenForo add-on designed to reduce repetitive administrative work by allowing forum owners to create automated rules directly from the Admin Control Panel.

Using a straightforward WHEN → IF → THEN workflow system, administrators can define triggers, apply conditions and automatically perform actions without writing code or relying on external automation services.

Whether you're managing a small community or a busy discussion forum, Eggy Automations helps keep routine tasks organised and under control.

Thread Automation​

Automate common thread management tasks, including:

• Automatically lock or unlock discussions.
• Stick or unstick threads.
• Move threads between forums.
• Apply thread prefixes.
• Execute workflows when new threads are created.
• Process inactive discussions automatically.
• Restrict actions using forum, prefix and reply-count conditions.

Multiple actions can be combined within a single workflow.

Member Automation​

Create rules that respond to member activity and account events.

• Trigger workflows when new members register.
• Add or remove secondary user groups automatically.
• Configure inactivity-based member workflows.
• Apply minimum message-count conditions.
• Protect administrator and moderator accounts from unintended modifications.

Flexible Workflow Management​

Administrators can create and manage independent workflows using configurable triggers, conditions and actions.

Each workflow can be enabled, disabled or adjusted individually without affecting other rules.

Automation processing is handled through XenForo's native cron system.

Dedicated Admin Control Panel​

Eggy Automations includes a dedicated administration area with:

• General Settings — Configure processing behaviour, safety controls and limits.
• Workflow Rules — View and manage existing automations.
• Create Automation — Configure new workflows.
• Execution History — Review automation activity and failures.
• System Status — Monitor the automation engine.

A master enable/disable switch allows administrators to suspend automation processing without removing configured rules.

Reliability and Safety​

Eggy Automations includes safeguards to help ensure automated tasks operate predictably.

Key safeguards include:

• Dry-run mode for evaluating workflows without modifying content.
• Duplicate-execution prevention.
• Configurable execution limits.
• Failure handling and retry controls.
• Automatic rule pausing after repeated failures.
• Execution logging and history retention.
• Staff-account protection.
• Independent controls for scheduled and event-based workflows.

Native XenForo Integration​

Eggy Automations works with XenForo's existing thread, member and cron systems.

No external automation platform or third-party API subscription is required.
