Save time and invest in more important tasks
ProblemTime-consuming routine tasks
In most companies, project managers and project teams are always entrusted with the same, recurring tasks. The more often tasks are repeated, the more likely it is that mistakes will creep in. Be it because routine work is perceived as a nuisance and is not much fun. Or because mistakes creep in due to negligence.
SolutionImproved quality and productivity
This is where the use of automation can help. With the function extension Redmine Automation Plugin you get a variety of application possibilities for the automation of project activities in Redmine. Benefit from our experience and make it easier for your users to comply with specifications, allowing them to make better use of their valuable time. Shorten the learning curve for new hires.
Bots perform repeatable, routine tasks, freeing your team to organize projects more easily without worrying about forgetting something. The possibility to turn every issue or time booking into a template for automated tasks or ticket bookings by assigning predefined time intervals helps to do this.
Increase data volume with automation
Redmine Automation facilitates task planning. Users can easily perform recurring tasks at regular intervals (daily, weekly, monthly).
Automation made easy
Easy for users to use. No matter whether tasks are to be automated, tickets resubmitted, or time entries completed.
Reduce errors, standardise procedures
With our rule builder, administrators can easily configure and automate any type of action in Redmine. Powerful automation rules allow you to combine triggers, conditions and actions. In this way, you will be able to handle even complex scenarios in the future without errors and in a timely manner.
Reduce data volume with automation
Redmine Automation uses rules triggered by specific actions to enable compliance with internal process instructions. Our plugin enables a smooth workflow and simplifies recurring operations.
Unlimited Customization Options
Create tailored automation rules for your specific requirements. Redmine administrators can automate complex workflows using both simple actions and intelligent calculations. Like automatically close inactive tickets after X days. Or automatically cleanup outdated content and inactvie users.
With variable filters you go beyond simple data transfer: Calculate values, format text, and convert data formats - all directly within your automation rules.

3 important reasons for usage
The ROI is clear: a one-time setup saves time in the long run and prevents costly oversights in important routine tasks.
1. Massive time savings for routine tasks
Instead of manually creating the same maintenance ticket every month or requesting quarterly reports, the plugin takes care of these recurring tasks fully automatically. What used to take 10-15 minutes per process now runs in the background.
2. Consistent processes and standards
Every automatically generated ticket contains exactly the same information, assignments, and standards. No differing descriptions, no forgotten details, no discrepancies between different employees or projects.
3. Scalability without additional effort
The larger your company becomes, the more routine tasks arise. Without automation, the administrative workload increases linearly. With the plugin, it remains constant—regardless of whether you have 5 or 50 recurring processes.
It's easier than you think
Redmine Automation Plugin can be implemented in a matter of days. The no-code or low-code rules are simply created by a user with administration privileges.
Our Automation Plugin is an emerging, cost-effective plugin that automates repetitive, manual tasks that used to waste too much of your employees' valuable time.
