Automation

Automate workflows that run when events occur in your project. Go to Automation in the top navigation to access the automation builder. Define triggers, add logic blocks, and execute actions — Hyper handles the execution automatically.

What you can build​

  • Notifications — Send emails or SMS when records change
  • Data sync — Push updates to external systems via webhooks
  • Business logic — Validate data, auto-assign values, enforce rules
  • Audit trails — Log changes for compliance and debugging

How it works​

Every automation has three parts:

  1. Trigger — Event that starts the automation (record created, updated, deleted)
  2. Blocks — Logic steps like conditions, data queries, variables
  3. Actions — Execute emails, webhooks, mutations, logging
