Run coding agents in the background, on a schedule or triggered by events. A Sentry error gets fixed within seconds. Docs stay in sync with your code. Security vulnerabilities get caught before they become problems.
Each automation runs in a secure sandbox with full codebase and repository access and your configured MCP servers.
Triggers
These are just examples to give you a rough idea. You decide how to set this up, there are no limitations.
Scheduled
Run automations at regular intervals.
| Schedule | Example |
|---|
| Hourly | Monitor for CI failures, new Sentry errors |
| Daily | Generate changelogs, post standup summaries |
| Weekly | Clean up stale TODOs, security scans |
| Monthly | Dependency audits, documentation reviews |
Event-driven
React to events from your integrations in real-time.
| Integration | Events |
|---|
| GitHub | PR opened, PR merged, issue created, comment added |
| GitLab | Merge request opened, merged, issue created |
| Sentry | New error, error spike, regression detected |
| Linear | Issue created, issue updated, status changed |
| Slack | Message in channel, @tembo mention |
Trigger through webhooks
You can trigger an automation on demand from external systems using the automation’s webhook trigger endpoint.
The payload is passed to the automation as event context, so your instructions can reference it directly. For example, you could write instructions like “Fix the issue at the URL provided in the event payload”.
Slash command trigger
You can trigger a task with the selected automation by using slash commands.
Creating an automation

- Go to Automations in the dashboard
- Click Templates
- Pick a template and click Use template
- Customize the instructions and enable
Browse all templates
From scratch
- Click New Automation

Beyond code
Automations aren’t limited to engineering tasks. With MCP servers, agents can work across your entire stack.
| Example | Trigger | What it does |
|---|
| Daily ARR report | Daily | Pulls revenue data from Stripe and posts to Slack |
| Feature requests from calls | Daily | Scans call transcripts for feature requests and creates Linear tickets |
| Customer health check | Weekly | Summarizes support tickets, usage trends, and churn signals in Slack |
| Enrich CRM records | New deal created | Pulls company info and adds context to Attio or your CRM |
| Create CRM tickets from Slack | @tembo in Slack | Creates a ticket in your CRM enriched with context from other connected integrations |
Any tool with an MCP server can be used in an automation.
You can also do this on-demand from Slack without setting up an automation:
@tembo What's our ARR right now? Check Stripe.
@tembo Summarize the feature requests from this week's sales calls and create Linear tickets for the top 5.
