What automations do
Routine that starts with an event, not with a reminder.
You describe the process once. After that it starts by itself, and you see every run with its steps.
Process
How an automation runs.
Four steps from event to log.
Event
Trigger
An event starts the run, such as a new email that matches your filters for folder, sender and subject.

An agent can never do more than the person behind it.
Automations work in your systems. That is why the limits are built in.
