Automation reduces manual work by reacting to events and running trusted sequences. Start with simple rules, graduate to workflows, and apply advanced patterns when volume grows. This hub introduces each layer—use the child articles for specifics.

Rules and triggers

React to events with focused, predictable rules.

Workflow builder

Chain steps, branch on conditions, and handle failures.

Advanced patterns

Make high-volume automation reliable under load.

Scheduled tasks

Run recurring work on a deliberate schedule.

Rules and triggers

Define when automation runs using events, filters, and guardrails.

Scheduled tasks

Cron-style schedules, timezone handling, and backoff.

Workflow builder

Build your first workflow

Step-by-step creation of a simple approval workflow.

Conditions and branches

Model conditional paths and merge strategies in workflows.

Error handling

Retries, compensating steps, and alerting when workflows fail.

Advanced patterns

Rate limits

Understand automation rate limits and how to design around them.

Idempotency

Use idempotency keys to make automation safe under retries.

Retry policies

Configure exponential backoff, max attempts, and dead-letter handling.
