TownRoutines
Routines are repeatable jobs your assistant handles behind the scenes. Use them for work that should happen on a trigger, on a schedule, or whenever a team needs the same assistant behavior more than once.

Sharing and discovery
You can share routines with teammates, preview shared routines before install, and add shared routines to your own workspace. Team Routines extend this to shared team spaces, so a group can standardize useful automations without copying setup by hand.
How routines work
Each routine has four components:
- Trigger — When the routine runs (new email, on a schedule, when a meeting starts, and more)
- Instructions — What the routine does (written in plain language or as a series of steps)
- Tools — What actions are available (read email, add label, send message, etc.)
- 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.
Team Routines use the same model, but the routine can be discovered, installed, and reviewed from a shared team context.
Start with the defaults. Stock routines are pre-configured with settings that work well for most people. After a few days, review the run logs and adjust if needed.
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
