Basic concepts
Glossary of the main GoAMS terms. Understand each concept to use the platform confidently.
Process
Your automation: a file or script that performs a task. It can be in Python, Java, Excel or another supported format. Example: a process that reads spreadsheets and generates reports.
Runner
Desktop agent installed on your machine that executes processes. The Runner connects to the platform, receives assigned tasks and executes them locally. You can have multiple Runners on different machines.
Schedule
Configuration that defines when and how often a process should run. Example: "every Monday at 8am" or "every 15 minutes". Processes run automatically according to the schedule.
Tenant
Represents an organization in the platform. Each tenant has its own processes, Runners and isolated data. Used in corporate accounts to separate teams and environments.
Queue
Feature for organizing and prioritizing data or tasks. Queues allow you to manage the flow of information that your processes consume or produce.
Asset
Shared resource used by processes: files, configurations, credentials. Assets are stored on the platform and can be accessed by any process that needs them.
Job
A single execution of a process. Each time a process runs (manually or via schedule), a job is created with its own status, logs and results.
