What does this automation do?
A new project is read and its process is written back as an ordered diagram of steps, so the shape of the work is visible before anyone starts it.
What can you do with it?
- See a project as a sequence of steps rather than a list of tasks
- Get the diagram written the moment the project is created
- Spot the missing handoff before the work starts
- Keep the map attached to the project it describes
The Steps
This automation runs in 4 steps:
- When Taskade — When a project is created
- Then Taskade — Get project info
- Then Taskade AI — Ask an agent ("Process Mapper")
- Then Taskade — Add a comment
What makes this different from a Zapier-style flow?
The "Process Mapper" step is not a one-off model call. It is a Taskade AI agent that knows how your projects are normally structured, remembers the processes it has already mapped, so every run builds on the last one instead of starting from an empty prompt.
A stateless "ask the model" step forgets everything the moment it returns. An agent keeps its knowledge and its memory between runs, carries its own tools, and can be handed work by other automations.
Who is this automation for?
Built for teams who inherit processes nobody has ever drawn. A new project is read and its process is written back as an ordered diagram of steps, so the shape of the work is visible before anyone starts it.
How do you set it up?
- Open the "Automations" tab in your workspace.
- Click ➕ Add automation, then start from scratch.
- Add the trigger "When a project is created" from Taskade.
- Add the action "Get project info" from Taskade.
- Add the action "Ask an agent" from Taskade AI. Point it at an agent called "Process Mapper".
- Add the action "Add a comment" from Taskade.
- Enable the toggle in the top-right corner to activate the automation.
Prefer to describe it instead? Click Build this flow with AI above and Taskade wires the trigger, the steps, and the agent for you.
