What are Automations in Layer?

Layer Automations are a powerful way to automate tasks within a project.

An automation consists of a Trigger and one or more Actions.

  • A Trigger informs the automation of when to run, such as when an element in the project changes or at a scheduled interval.

  • Actions are the tasks that are run when the Trigger criteria is met, such as updating an element field value or notifying a user.

With the customizability of Automations, the possibilities are nearly endless for what you can within a project. See Automation Examples for some ideas!
