# How to automate your contract execution with Gelato
You can automate your contract execution with Gelato Network
## Initiate an Automated Transaction
An execution attempt in Gelato allows you to pre-define the inputs for a function. By doing so, every time Gelato calls the function, it uses the same arguments, ensuring consistent behavior in your automated tasks.
### **1. Prepare Your Smart Contract for Automation**
* **Identify Your Smart Contract:** Ensure you have the correct smart contract address and know the specific function you want to automate.
* **Function Restrictions:** Some functions may not be compatible with Gelato due to certain restrictions. Familiarize yourself with these to ensure seamless automation.
### **2. Set Your Trigger Condition**
* **Choosing Trigger Type**
* **Choosing Your Trigger:** Gelato allows you to set specific conditions to determine when your function is called. This could be at regular intervals (time interval) or based on specific events (cron expression).
* **No Custom Code Required:** For initiating tranaction tasks, there's no need for you to write code. Simply set your desired trigger and move forward.
Finally, Click on "Create Task" button! Its just that simple!
