How to Set Up Automation Rules in Cryptoworth


Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Automation Rules

Automation rules in Cryptoworth allow you to classify transactions automatically, saving you time and ensuring consistency. Follow this guide to configure automation rules and streamline your workflow.

1. Understand the Purpose of Automation Rules

  • The Classification Column on the Transactions page is where you manually classify transactions.

  • Instead of manual effort, automation rules can classify thousands of transactions based on criteria such as:

    • Transaction Tags (automatically generated by Cryptoworth).

    • Wallet Addresses (destination or origin).

    • Address Book Contacts.

    • Contract Methods or IDs.


2. Navigate to the Automations Section

  1. Go to More Options in the sidebar menu.

  2. Select Automations from the dropdown menu.


3. Create a New Automation Rule

  1. Click the Classification Automation button in the top-right corner.

    • Choose the Scope: Apply the rule to the entire entity or specific connections.

    • Example: Choose Entity for a global rule.

    • Name the Automation Rule:Example: "Transaction/Gas Fees."


4. Define Automation Criteria

    • Select Criteria: Choose from various criteria options. For this example:

      • Select Transaction Tag.

      • Use the tag Fees, which is automatically applied by Cryptoworth for network fees.

    • Optional Refinements: Add secondary conditions if needed for more specific rules.

    • Skip this step if unnecessary for the chosen tag.


5. Specify Classification

    • Update the Classification Field:Select the appropriate classification for the transactions.

    • Example: Choose Crypto Fees for transactions tagged as fees.

    • Optional: Automate labels in addition to classifications for added organization.


6. Confirm and Activate the Rule

  1. Review the rule configuration to ensure accuracy.

  2. Click Next and confirm the rule:

    • Example: "Transaction Tag is Fees, classify as Crypto Fees."


7. Apply the Automation Rule

You can apply the rule in two ways:

    • Sync Connections: When you sync wallets or connections, the rule automatically applies to the latest transactions.

    • Run the Rule Manually: Go back to the Automations section, click the dropdown next to the rule, and select Run Rule.


8. Verify the Results

  1. Go to the Transactions Page and refresh if necessary.

  2. Confirm that the transactions meeting the criteria are classified correctly.

    • Example: Network fees are now classified as Crypto Fees.


What’s Next?

With automation rules set up, your transactions will be automatically classified as they sync into Cryptoworth. The next tutorial will guide you on syncing journals to your main general ledger for seamless reporting.
