Automations

The tutorial in writing

What the video explains, step by step — to read without sound, or to go back to one precise moment.

1. Automations Tutorial 31 — set your tools up once, replay them after

   You build the same tools over and over: a whiteboard, a sticky-note wall, a quiz. An automation remembers that set-up. You write it once, and in the next room you type the name and the code - the tools come with it.

2. A room already set up That is where it starts

   We are not starting from a blank page. Here is a room you have already prepared, with its tools in place. That is the set-up you are going to keep.

3. Keep this set-up One link, at the top of the room

   Save as an automation. The link sits there, in the room header, next to the one that opens it.

4. The editor Already filled in by your room

   The editor opens pre-filled: every tool in the room is already there, in order. You name the set, you remove what you do not want to see again, and that is it.

5. The list of tools One line per tool

   Each line is a tool. You move it up, you move it down, you give it the title it will carry in the room. The order of the list is the order of the build.

6. Three ways to build Empty, attached, or from a template

   And for each line, you choose. Create empty, for a board you will fill during the session. Attach, for a set of flashcards that serves several rooms. Or start from a template, and the tool arrives with its content.

7. Your automations One per way of working

   You keep as many as you have formats. A full day, a half-day taster: those are not the same tools, so they are not the same automations.

8. A card What it holds, at a glance

   Each card gives its name, the number of tools, and how many times you have already applied it.

9. The detail Every tool, by name

   The chips name the tools one by one. The ones carrying an arrow are attached: the very same object will be used, not a copy.

10. Apply it To a room that already exists

    Apply to a room. You pick the room, and the tools are built there in a single gesture.

11. The count, first You are told what will happen

    Before anything is written, you are given the outcome: how many tools will be created, how many attached. And if your plan does not allow one of them, it is named here, not discovered halfway.

12. From the room Without going through the list

    The same gesture exists from the room itself: a band above the tools, you choose, you build.

13. A brand-new room The name, the code, and the tools

    And here is what all of this is for. You create your next room.

14. The third field The one that saves the preparation

    You pick an automation, and the room does not arrive empty: it arrives built. That is one preparation less, every session.
