Interactive Example
Step-by-step Example
If you prefer a more interactive experience, please follow the Tutorial on the official Gelato Automate website. In this tutorial, you will get to mint a Gelato ice cream NFT which you can "lick", but only every 5 minutes, otherwise you get "brainfreeze". We recommend you do the Tutorial on Polygon or Goerli.
To accomplish this, you can create a task to automate this licking using Gelato in order to not having to do it manually yourself.
Look out for this graphic to get started:
Here is a checklist on how you can automate your smart contract.
Find out the smart contract address and the function you would want to automate. There are a few restrictions that can prevent the function from being called by Gelato.
You can tell Gelato exactly when do you want your function to be called. For complex cases, you would need a resolver.
Gelato allows task creators to pay executors before or during the execution depending on their needs. Check out here.
Many use cases involve writing a resolver to enable Gelato to constantly evaluate whether the conditions for your task to be executed have been met.
