    5. Add conditions for automating the activities of updating a field, sending an email, or sending notifications.
      You can add multiple conditions to act as triggers to an automation. For example, an automation can be created to send a notification to everyone in the Space when it meets the following conditions:
      • Task priority is high.
      • The start date is three weeks away.
