Tips & gotchas
- If this, then that. Think of playbooks as “if this, then that” rules for your assistant. They run automatically on incoming messages — no need to ask each time.
- Action modes. Actions can be “auto” (execute immediately), “draft” (prepare for your review), or “notify” (alert you).
- Priority ordering. Priority ordering determines which playbook fires first when multiple rules match.
