Automate your workflows —
set it up once, let it run

Automations start with a trigger — the event that fires the rule. Available triggers include: task created, task status changed, task assigned, task due date approaching (X days before), task overdue, label added or removed, comment added, checklist item completed, and milestone reached. Each trigger can be scoped to a specific project, label, or status value.

Add conditions to make a rule more precise — "only run this automation if the task has label X" or "only if the assignee is in team Y" or "only if the task is in project Z". Conditions are AND/OR combinations of any task field, custom field, or metadata. Without conditions, a trigger applies to everything that matches; with conditions, you narrow it to exactly the right subset.

The "then do this" part of the rule. Available actions: change status, assign to a specific person or round-robin, set due date (fixed or relative), add or remove a label, move to a different project, create a subtask, send a notification to a member or channel, and log a comment on the task. Chain multiple actions in one rule — "when status changes to Review: assign to Sarah AND notify the #design channel AND set due date to 2 days from now."

Start from a library of pre-built automation templates for the most common use cases: sprint close-out, new task assignment routing, due date notifications, blocked task escalation, and more. Browse, preview, and activate a template in one click — then customize the trigger conditions and actions to fit your exact workflow.

Route newly created tasks to the right person automatically based on label, project, or type. Use round-robin assignment to distribute tasks evenly across a support or QA team — no manual balancing. When a task is moved to a "Review" status, auto-assign it to the designated reviewer for that project. Unassigned tasks in your queue go to zero.

When all subtasks of a parent task are complete, automatically mark the parent as done. When a blocked task's dependency is resolved, move it from "Blocked" to "Ready". When a task is approved in review, automatically move it to "Done" and archive it. Status cascades eliminate the manual cleanup work after meaningful events happen in a project.

Send a notification to the assignee 2 days before a task is due — a heads-up while there's still time. Notify the project manager when any task in the project becomes overdue. Escalate to a channel if a critical-priority task hasn't moved status in 48 hours. Turn deadline anxiety into proactive alerting that keeps everyone ahead of the deadline.

Every automation execution is logged — which rule fired, which task it affected, which actions were taken, and at what timestamp. When something unexpected happens to a task, the automation log shows exactly which rule caused it. Rules can be temporarily disabled for debugging without deleting them. Export the log for compliance or audit purposes.
