In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to pause or stop the automation (Scheduler), for example, when updating the Webgility application or while modifying the configuration/settings.
Before we begin let's understand the meanings of the Scheduler Icons in Webgility Desktop.
Gray (no color): Automation is off (the Scheduler icon will not be visible in the system tray)
