• Triggers can be as simple as “issue created” or as advanced as field changes, comments, or scheduled rules
• Conditions help prevent errors by ensuring emails only send when data is correct (e.g., assignee is not empty)
• Clean rule naming becomes essential once you scale past 20–30 automations
• Start simple - then layer in branching, restrictions, and advanced automation patterns
