Definition: Action DNA forms your workspace's nervous system—an interconnected network of automations that detect events, process information, and coordinate responses across your entire business ecosystem. Unlike simple workflow tools, Action DNA creates intelligent, adaptive automation networks.

Nervous System Architecture

An automation is a reflex arc: something happens, the signal is routed, a response fires, and the result is recorded. Every stage is configurable.

Stage What it does What you configure
Event detection Watches workspace activity and connected apps The trigger condition
Signal routing Sends the event down the right path Filters, branches, and conditions
Response Carries out the work Actions across the 100+ integrations
Feedback Writes the outcome back Where the result lands

Automations are bidirectional: triggers pull events in from connected apps, and actions push data back out. That two-way flow is what makes the loop close rather than dead-end.

The final stage is the one that turns automation into Workspace DNA. An automation that acts and records leaves the workspace smarter. One that only acts leaves it exactly where it was.
