# Automation examples

> Real-world automation examples built with Replit Agent using connectors like Linear, Jira, Gmail, Slack, Discord, and more.

export const AiPrompt = ({children}) => {
  return <CodeBlock className="relative block font-sans whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">
      <div className="pr-7">
        {children}
      </div>
    </CodeBlock>;
};

Replit Agent can build full-stack automations that connect your tools, react to events, and run on a schedule — all from a single prompt. Combined with [Connectors](/replitai/integrations) and [Deployments](/category/replit-deployments), you can replace fragile glue code and expensive no-code platforms with real applications you own and control.

## What you can automate

Automations on Replit go beyond simple triggers. Because Agent builds real applications with full code, you can:

* **React to events** from any service with webhook support (Linear, Jira, GitHub, Confluence, Discord, and more)
* **Run on a schedule** with cron-based automations (daily digests, weekly reports, periodic syncing)
* **Chain multiple services** together in a single automation (Jira event triggers an SMS via Twilio, Google Drive file creates a Notion page)
* **Add AI processing** to any workflow — summarize, classify, extract, or generate content using built-in AI integrations
* **Deploy and forget** — automations run 24/7 on Replit's cloud infrastructure with no servers to manage

The key difference from traditional automation platforms: you get the full source code. You can customize logic, add error handling, extend functionality, and version control your automations like any other software project.

## How automations work

Most automations follow a simple pattern:

1. **Trigger** — An event happens (webhook, cron schedule, or API poll)
2. **Process** — Your app receives the event, applies logic, and optionally calls AI for summarization or analysis
3. **Action** — Your app calls another service to send a message, create a record, or update data

Agent handles the entire build process: setting up webhook endpoints, configuring cron schedules, authenticating with services through [Connectors](/replitai/integrations), and deploying your automation.

  To get started, select **Agents & Automations** from the Replit homepage and describe what you want to automate. See the [getting started guide](/core-concepts/agent/agents-and-automations) for a walkthrough.

## Building your own automations

These examples are starting points. Because Agent builds real applications, you can combine any services and add custom logic:

* **Multi-step workflows**: Chain three or more services together (e.g., Jira issue created → AI summarizes → Slack notification → Google Sheet log)
* **Conditional logic**: Add filters and conditions (e.g., only notify for high-priority issues, only log tasks from specific projects)
* **AI-enhanced processing**: Add summarization, classification, sentiment analysis, or content generation to any automation
* **Custom schedules**: Run automations every hour, every day at a specific time, weekly, or on any cron schedule

<AiPrompt>
  When a high-priority Jira issue is created in the "Backend" project, summarize it with AI, send a Slack notification to #engineering, and log it to a Google Sheet
</AiPrompt>
