Sharing and discovery

You can share routines with teammates, preview shared routines before install, and add shared routines to your own workspace.

How routines work

Each routine has four components:

1. Trigger — When the routine runs (new email, on a schedule, when a meeting starts, and more)
2. Instructions — What the routine does (written in plain language or as a series of steps)
3. Tools — What actions are available (read email, add label, send message, etc.)
4. Mode — How much autonomy (autonomous, approval-required, or read-only)

When a trigger fires, your assistant executes the routine logic using the available tools. Actions are logged so you can see exactly what happened.

Customizing routines

After enabling a routine, you can:

• Edit settings — Adjust schedules, filters, or preferences
• Change mode — Switch between autonomous and approval-required
• Modify tools — Add or remove capabilities
• Update logic — Customize behavior with your own instructions
