FAQ

Спойлер: What is a case? How is it different from a template?

A case is a solution to some automation task using ZennoPoster/ZennoDroid.

Questions that will help you talk about your case:

• What task/problem did you solve?
• What did you do to solve the problem?
  Description of the main steps.
• What results have been achieved?
  For example, you earned a certain amount of money, increased efficiency/productivity, saved time, automated the process, tested an idea/hypothesis, etc.
• Describe the technical implementation (attach the template if possible)
