### Turn events into automatic actions

Start automations when something happens a new email arrives, a task changes status, a comment is added, or a deadline approaches.

#### Automatically update tasks
Rules can assign owners, change priority, update task stages, or notify teammates so work always moves to the next step without manual triage.
