Before You Build Anything

Automation might sound complex, but it starts with simple ideas. This section helps you understand the basics before you build anything.

Workload lets you create automations. These are step-by-step instructions that run when something specific happens. For example, when someone fills out a form, Workload can send an email, update a spreadsheet, and alert your team. You set the steps once, and Workload handles them for you.

The guides in this category explain how automations work and when they can help. You’ll learn about triggers—the events that start a workflow. You’ll also learn about actions—the steps that follow. Along the way, you’ll see examples of tasks you can automate, like saving form data or sending alerts.

This is the best place to begin if you’re new to no-code tools. You don’t need to know how to code or set up anything technical. Each article uses clear language and real examples to explain key ideas.

The information here gives you a solid foundation. Before you build anything, it helps to understand how automation fits into your work. These lessons will make the next steps easier, so you can start building with confidence.
