What this does

Logging a temperature is a passive record. This rule makes it active: the moment a staff member logs a fridge or freezer temperature outside its safe range, Paddl creates a corrective task and, if you want, alerts managers. It turns a number on a screen into an action.

Set it up

  1. Go to Operations > Automations > New automation and pick the Fridge temp out of range template.

  2. Choose who the corrective task goes to, and edit the title if you like.

  3. Leave Also notify managers ticked so a manager is alerted as well, and set the message.

  4. Set the location scope and click Create automation.

When it fires

The rule fires whenever a temperature check records a value outside the safe minimum or maximum for that item, on the routines and equipment you already have set up. There is nothing extra to configure on the temperature checks themselves.

No double-ups

Each out-of-range reading fires the rule at most once, so a single bad reading creates one corrective task, not several.
