# Setting up automatic actions

In most cases, this problem comes from the **execution mode** of the automatic action.

In **GLPI** mode, it is normal for your actions to have trigger problems at night / weekend, because these actions are only triggered by user activity in **GLPI** interface.

In **CLI** mode, however, automatic actions will be triggered by our internal system, regardless of activity in **GLPI**.

**CLI** mode is therefore recommended, it is activated by default on paid instances (triggering every 15 minutes), if you are in a test period, do not hesitate to contact us, we can activate it on demand.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.glpi-project.org/tutorials/automatic-actions/configuration_action_auto.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
