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 the actions you want to run, such as creating a chat and sending an email.
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.
- Add each email recipient as its own chip so it is obvious who will receive the result.
- Send the email to the team or inbox that will act on the result.

FAQ​
Q: Do I need to change the default schedule before saving?​
No. You can keep the default schedule during setup and adjust the timing later.
Q: What email address should I use?​
Use a shared inbox or team distribution list when more than one person should see the automation output.
Q: Can I send an automation email to multiple recipients?​
Yes. Add each address individually and confirm it so it appears as a chip in the recipient field.
