Overview

Automations are the execution layer of Workspace DNA. In this video, connect a trigger to a chain of actions, add an AI step, and ship a workflow that runs 24/7.

TL;DR: Taskade automations run on durable execution, so long-running steps keep working even if something hiccups. Pair a trigger with AI and 100+ integrations. Watch the video, then open Automations.

What you will learn

  1. How to pick a trigger from 100+ integrations
  2. How to add AI steps that reason over the trigger payload
  3. How to branch on a condition or loop over a list
  4. How to test a run before publishing

Example: new lead, auto follow-up

  1. Trigger: new row in Airtable.
  2. AI step: draft a custom follow-up email with Taskade AI.
  3. Condition: only send if the lead score is high.
  4. Action: create a Gmail draft for review.
