Contract automation
Ankr Automation enables you to execute your contract functions based on various triggers. It is an automation platform that uses the same decentralized node infrastructure that made Ankr so well-known and popular in crypto. Building with Ankr Automation will help you get to market faster and save you time and money on setup, maintenance, and risk costs.
Available triggers
Ankr Automation will execute smart contract functions based on various triggers.
- Time-based triggers, allowing you to execute a contract function on a schedule of your choice. Your contract doesn't need to be compatible with
AutomationInterface. - Custom logic triggers, allowing you to execute a contract function on a certain event. Your contract needs to be compatible with
AutomationInterface.
Time-based trigger
Use it when you need to execute a contract function at a certain time. You can set date and time via conventional drop-down lists or write a CRON expression.
First, deploy the contract you want to automate. Your contract doesn't need to be compatible with AutomationInterface.
If your contract isn't verified, you will need the ABI for it.
- Open Ankr Automation Dashboard (opens in a new tab).
- Connect your wallet and switch to a supported network.
- Create Task and select Time-based trigger. Set a name, provide the address of your deployed contract, provide the ABI if the contract isn't verified, and choose a function to execute.
- Set the schedule via the drop-down list or a CRON expression.
- Complete the remaining details.
- Top up your account to meet the gas fee costs.
You can manage created Tasks from Ankr Automation Dashboard (opens in a new tab).
Custom logic trigger
Use it when you need to execute a contract function on a certain event.
First, deploy the contract you want to automate. Your contract needs to be compatible with IAutomateCompatible.
- Open Ankr Automation Dashboard (opens in a new tab).
