Needs-your-attention automations

Audited triggers that create a task when something needs attention, each with your own reminder wording, an on/off switch and delivery channels.

What it is

A list of internal triggers, each showing what fires it, an editable message with a reset-to-default escape hatch, and In-app / Text / Email channel switches. Alongside them the built-in customer-facing automations are listed — 24-hour and 48-hour intake form reminders, and missed-call text-back — so the external view is not empty air.

Also called: reminders · follow up automatically · nudge me · automation triggers · automatic tasks · customer did something and I need to act · attention triggers · auto follow-up

Final
The Automations list: a trigger row with its 'fires when' line, editable message box, reset link and three channel toggles. AutomationsTab.tsx. Sample data — no customer information appears here.
How it works
  1. 1Every trigger creates a task on Home when it fires; the chosen channels ride that task's reminder through the existing reminders engine.
  2. 2Preferences save per trigger with enabled, message and channels.
  3. 3Built-in external automations are listed with their status (built-in and firing, or on once calling and texting are set up).
Why we built it

Recorded as. Routing every automation through a Home task rather than inventing a parallel alert system means an automation cannot fire into a void — there is always a task record behind the nudge. The built-in external list is internal and external must both be visible so neither category looks empty.

The problem
  • Follow-ups depended on someone remembering.
  • Automated reminder wording could not be changed.
  • Customer-facing automations were invisible in settings.

What you get
Stalled work chases itself and lands as a real task.
Reminder wording is the builder's own.
Both internal and customer-facing automations are visible in one list.
