This chapter presented various techniques of how to use agents, types of agents, and ways to create useful agents. We explored the various triggers for agents and demonstrated a somewhat complex agent that combined simple actions, formulas, and LotusScript. Finally, you learned how to test and debug agents and view the agent log. By applying these techniques, you can make agents a viable means of performing and automating the many tasks ”complex or simple ”in all your Domino applications. All in all, Domino agents are a very powerful, flexible tool that any developer, novice or expert, can use to save time.
