Automations
When something lands, work can start
When something lands in the room, a short action can run — including opening Work when you need to look. Not a schedule; Routines own time.
Events with nowhere to land
Forms dump into email or another sheet. Status lives in five tools. When someone needs to decide, you only have a ping.
Events move the room
An Automation watches something in the place (a form submit, a new row). If it matches, it runs short actions — set a field, add a row, or start Work. Story: an RSVP lands, the guest list updates, Thursday tasting can open.

Common questions
