Automations overview
Automations are trigger-based workflows in Dailybot. When something happens (or when a schedule fires), Dailybot runs the actions you defined: post a message, notify a user, branch on conditions, or call connected steps your plan allows.
Types
Scheduled automations run on a calendar or cron-like pattern. Example: every Friday at 4:00 p.m. post a digest of open blockers to #engineering-leads.
Event-driven automations react to product events: a form submission, a check-in completed, a new member joining, or a webhook hit. Example: when someone submits a bug intake form, post the answers to a triage channel and tag @oncall.
AI-powered automations use natural language during setup (see Building automations with AI) to draft trigger, conditions, and actions. The runtime behavior is still deterministic: the AI proposes configuration; execution follows the saved rules.
Automations respect org permissions. Only people who can manage integrations or workflows for the workspace see the Automations area and can publish changes.
