Set Up Automation
Use Automate to define the trigger and follow-up actions that make a workflow useful.
In this example, a scheduled automation creates a weekly chat summary of onboarding issues and emails it to the product team.
Before You Start
- You must have permission to edit teamspace settings.
Steps
- Open a new automation in Teamspace Settings > Automate.
- Add a trigger.
- Add one or multiple actions.
When Should I Use Automations?
- When the same summary or follow-up should happen on a fixed schedule.
- When you want AI output delivered to a teammate or shared inbox without manual copying.
Tips
- Keep the chat prompt specific so the scheduled summary stays consistent from week to week.
- Send the email to the team or inbox that will act on the result.
