About this class
Chatting with AI and getting work done are different things.Set up your first triggers: flows that research, respond and carry out a task even when your laptop is closed.Learn how one automation works before you build many.
What you'll learn
- 01Set up a trigger that starts a task, and the action that follows
- 02Connect AI to Zapier and Make
- 03Write a design template for each of your five automations
- 04Decide what each flow does when something goes wrong
Choose your role
Example: what a Finance learner does in class
- A flow that files each supplier invoice email into the right folder and logs the amount and due date in a sheet.
- Set a trigger for when the bank export lands, then decide what the flow does if the file arrives empty or twice.
Choose your role above to see examples for your own work.
Try it yourself
Step through sample automations, such as email triage and lead qualification, from the trigger to the output, and see what each step does.
What you'll build
- 5 working automations
- Automation design templates
