# Automated Actions

After a document review is completed, Protege AI can perform various automated actions to streamline your workflow based on user-defined risk thresholds.

## Overview

Automated actions eliminate manual steps by automatically responding to review results. Actions are triggered when policy feedback meets specific risk criteria that you define.

For example, if a review identifies fewer policy violations than your threshold, the document can be automatically approved without manual intervention. Conversely, if high-risk issues are detected, detailed comments can be automatically posted to your task management system.

## Available Actions

### Auto-Approval

If the identified risks are below your user-defined auto-approval threshold, documents can be automatically approved, eliminating the need for manual review.

**Benefits:**

* Speeds up review cycles for low-risk content
* Reduces reviewer workload on routine changes
* Maintains consistency in approval criteria
* Ideal for minor updates to previously approved content

**Use Cases:**

* Small changes to marketing assets
* Updates to previously reviewed materials
* Content with minimal or no policy violations
* Routine template-based documents

### Auto-Comment Generation

The AI can automatically generate and add comments to your task management system for issues identified during the review.

**Features:**

* Detailed insights about each policy violation
* Suggested actions for remediation
* Risk level indicators (High, Medium, Low)
* Links back to specific feedback in Protege

When identified risks exceed your threshold, all problems are consolidated and posted as a comment in the requester's ticket, ensuring that high-risk issues are promptly flagged and addressed.

## Configuration

### Setting Up Automated Actions

1. Navigate to the **Task Manager** where you want to enable automated actions
2. If there is no Default Evaluation Type set, select one to run on the Task Manager
3. Toggle on **Autocomment** and/or **Autoapprove** based on your workflow needs
4. Click the ⚙️ icon to configure individual policy thresholds for each action
5. Define risk levels and occurrence counts for each policy type
6. Press ✔️ to save your settings

### Configuring Thresholds

For each policy in your evaluation:

* Set the **risk level** threshold (High, Medium, Low)
* Define the **occurrence count** that triggers the action
* Different thresholds can be set for auto-approval vs. auto-commenting

**Example Configuration:**

* Auto-approve if: 0 High risk, ≤2 Medium risk, any Low risk
* Auto-comment if: ≥1 High risk, ≥5 Medium risk

## Action History

View a complete history of all automated actions:

1. Go to **Settings** → **Action History**
2. Review past auto-approvals and auto-comments
3. Filter by date, project, or action type
4. Audit automated decisions for compliance purposes

## Best Practices

* **Start Conservative**: Begin with strict thresholds and gradually relax them as you gain confidence
* **Regular Review**: Periodically review action history to ensure thresholds remain appropriate
* **Policy-Specific Settings**: Configure different thresholds for different policy types based on risk
* **Team Alignment**: Ensure your team understands which documents will be auto-approved
* **Audit Trail**: Maintain records of threshold changes for compliance purposes

## Integration with Task Managers

Automated actions work seamlessly with:

* Asana
* Jira
* Smartsheets
* Wrike

Comments and approvals are posted directly to tickets in your connected task management system, maintaining a complete audit trail.

## Disabling Actions

To temporarily or permanently disable automated actions:

1. Return to your Task Manager settings
2. Toggle off **Autocomment** or **Autoapprove**
3. Save your changes

Previous action history is preserved even when actions are disabled.
