# Workflows and automations

> Build saved automations with schedules or event triggers, optional approval gates, and ready-made templates for grant scans and investor follow-ups.

Workflows are pre-built or custom automations that tell the agent what to do when a specific condition is met — without you needing to configure it every time.

## How workflows work

A workflow has:

* **A trigger** — a schedule (e.g. every Monday) or an event (e.g. new grant matched above 80 fit score)
* **An action sequence** — what the agents should do (e.g. draft introduction email, create task for approval)
* **An approval gate** (optional) — whether you need to approve before the action fires

## Template gallery

RaisePill ships with ready-to-use workflow templates:

| Template                | What it does                                                             |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Weekly grant scan**   | Runs Scout every Monday and surfaces top 5 picks in Tasks                |
| **Auto-draft on match** | When Scout finds a fit score ≥ 85, Writer starts a draft immediately     |
| **Investor follow-up**  | If no reply after 5 days, Concierge drafts a follow-up for your approval |
| **Deadline alert**      | Creates a task 2 weeks before any active application’s deadline          |
| **Weekly digest**       | Sends a summary email every Friday at 17:00                              |

## Custom workflows

Build your own workflow from the **New workflow** button. Define your trigger, select which agents to involve, set the action steps, and configure approval gates.

<Note>
  Custom workflows with external actions (sending emails, submitting forms) always require an approval gate unless you’ve set your autonomy level to **Aggressive**.
