# Automations

> Run recurring tasks on autopilot and get notified by email when they complete.

## What are automations

Automations let Concord run a recurring task on a schedule without you in the loop. You configure what needs to happen, scope it to a brand or media plan, and set the frequency. Concord executes it autonomously at the scheduled time.

Common use cases:

* Weekly performance reports delivered every Monday morning
* Daily budget checks across active campaigns
* Recurring campaign updates at the start of each flight

## Setting up an automation

<Steps>
  <Step title="Name your automation">
    Give the automation a clear name so you can identify it later.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a filter">
    Scope the automation to a specific brand or media plan. Concord will run in that context each time.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write instructions">
    Describe what Concord should do each time the automation runs. Be as specific as you would in a chat: the report you want, the checks to perform, the actions to take.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Attach files (optional)">
    Upload any reference files Concord should use during the run, such as a brief, a targeting list, or a template.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set a schedule">
    Choose the frequency (daily, weekly, etc.) and the time of day. Concord will trigger automatically at each interval.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What happens when an automation runs

Concord executes the instructions exactly as it would from a manual chat, using your workspace Skills for context. When the run completes, it sends an email summary with a direct link to open the conversation in Concord and continue from where it left off.
