In most organizations, managing tangible and intangible assets are an integral part of businesses of any scale and at different geo-locations. With this in mind, management of inventory manually is simply time-consuming, inaccurate and expensive.
With Asset Automations, you can increase efficiency and save time on repetitive tasks across the asset lifecycle. This can include processes such as onboarding and offboarding assets, asset assignment and so on.

Let’s take a scenario where the agent needs to automate an asset offboarding process

Note: You cannot change the asset type configured after the creation of the workflow.
Drag and drop the event node and choose the option "Asset is updated"
Next, drag and drop the condition node and set the parameter "Used by is None"
Then, drag and drop the action node and select the option "Set Asset State as In stock", and set the option "Send an email to Managed by" that the item is returned and click Done.
