Work through the usual reasons a rule did not run or create its task.

Check these first

  1. Is the rule Active? Open it in Operations > Automations and confirm the status.

  2. Does the location scope include the site you expected? An all locations rule covers everywhere; a scoped rule only covers the sites you picked.

  3. For a forecast rule, has its scheduled time passed today? It runs at the time you set, not before.

  4. Did the conditions actually match? If you required sunny and at least 20 degrees, a cool or cloudy day will not fire.

Check the activity

Each time a forecast rule runs it records the result, including the conditions it saw, so you can tell whether it was checked and skipped, or never reached. If it shows as skipped, the conditions were not met that day.

Still not firing

If an active, correctly scoped rule with met conditions still does nothing, contact support through the chat widget at help.paddl-ai.co with the rule name.
