Wix Automations: Managing Your Automations
7 min read
This article refers to the previous automation builder. If you're not seeing this version, read our article about the new version of the automation builder.
Automations allow you to streamline your work processes and save time on manual tasks. View and manage all of your automations from the Automations page in your site's dashboard.
In this article, learn more about:
Viewing all of your automations
You'll find a full record of all of your active and inactive automations (across all apps) on your Automations page. From here, you can see the number of times your automations have been triggered, edit or duplicate automations, and more.
On your Automations page, you'll see your automations listed in 2 tabs: "Created by you" and "Installed for you".
To view your automations:
- Go to Automations in your site's dashboard.
- Scroll down to the Your automations section to view all of your automations across 2 tabs:
- Created by you: Active and inactive automations you've created here or directly through an app.
- Installed for you: Active and inactive automations created automatically when you've installed apps.
- (Optional) Click an automation to view its automation summary, including the last trigger date and the total times triggered.
Tip:
Click Filters to view only active or inactive automations, or those with specific triggers or actions.
Your "Installed for you" automations
All businesses are unique and benefit from different types of automations. As you build your site, Wix installs automations specific to the apps you add. For example, if you add a Wix Blog to your site, you'll get an automation that notifies members of new blog posts. You can deactivate these at any time.
View and manage your "Installed for you" automations by selecting this tab on your Automations page.
Notes about "Installed for you" automations:
- These automations start working as soon as you add the relevant app. Depending on the app, you may be able to deactivate them.
- These automations are pre-defined by the app. The logic and configuration can be changed or deleted by the app in the future.
- These automations can be edited in the same way as other automations, but you'll only be able to edit certain parts (such as customizing an email design).
- Some of these automations will allow you to undo all edits you've made. To do so, hover over the relevant automation and click the More Actions icon
, then click Reset to default. Resetting to default will reset the automation's email template and statistics. - The statistics of an automation will reset if the app owner creates a new version of the automation.
Your recommended automations
In addition to your "Installed for you" automations, you'll see Wix's suggested automations when you start to create a new automation. These are specific to your business type and the apps you've added to your site. They are listed by business benefit to help you choose: "Sell more online", "Engage with clients", and more.

Editing, duplicating or renaming an automation
Edit automations so they're working for your business, or rename them so you and your site collaborators can identify them at a glance. Save time by duplicating an existing automation and then making any edits needed. For example, you can use the same email campaign design to respond to different triggers.
To edit, duplicate or rename an automation:
- Go to Automations in your site's dashboard.
- Scroll down to the Your automations section.
- Choose what you want to do:
Edit an automation
Duplicate an automation
Rename an automation
Deactivating or deleting an automation
Deactivate or delete automations you no longer require. Deactivating an automation will make it inactive, ready to be activated again in future. Deleting an automation will remove it from your page and you won't be able to restore it.
To deactivate or delete an automation:
- Go to Automations in your site's dashboard.
- Scroll down to the Your automations section.
- Hover over the relevant email automation and click the More Actions icon .
- Choose what you want to do:
Deactivate an automation
Delete an automation
Viewing your quotas
Some automation actions are subject to quotas. For example, an automation with the action "Send an email" uses emails from your site's email marketing plan. View your quotas from your Automations page so you can easily see when your quotas are running low and you might need to upgrade.
To view your quotas:
- Go to Automations in your site's dashboard.
- Click Manage Your Quotas.
Viewing your email automation statistics
Automations with "Send email" as the action will give you access to email marketing statistics. You'll be able to see detailed information for each email you're sending, including delivery rate, which links were clicked, and more. You'll also be able to see a list of the recipients who opened the email.
Statistics for all automations:
For all automations, you can view the last triggered date and the total times triggered. Click the relevant automation on your Automations page to display the summary panel.
To view your email automation statistics:
- Go to Automations in your site's dashboard.
- Scroll down to the Your automations section.
- Hover over the relevant email automation and click the More Actions icon .
- Click View email stats to view your email marketing statistics.
Note:
Your email statistics are made up of unique recipients. If an email is triggered for the same contact more than once, it counts as only one email.
