Overview
Automations do the busywork while you are not watching: chase leads, sync your tools, and alert your team. 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 keep running even if a step hiccups, so long jobs finish on their own. Pair a trigger with AI and 100+ integrations. Watch the video, then open Automations.
What you will learn
- How to pick a trigger from 100+ integrations
- How to add AI steps that reason over the trigger payload
- How to branch on a condition or loop over a list
- How to test a run before publishing
Example: new lead, auto follow-up
Here is the same flow as it looks in the builder, top to bottom:
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ⚡ Automation Builder [ Test ▶ ] │
├──────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 🎯 Trigger New row in Airtable │
│ │ │
│ 🤖 AI step Draft a follow-up email │
│ │ │
│ 🔀 Condition Lead score is high? │
│ │ │
│ ✉️ Action Create a Gmail draft │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- Trigger: new row in Airtable.
- AI step: draft a custom follow-up email with Taskade AI.
- Condition: only send if the lead score is high.
- Action: create a Gmail draft for review.
Need a human decision in the loop? Automation forms now take checkbox and yes/no (boolean) inputs, so a teammate can approve, skip, or flag a step with one tap before the run continues.
