How it works

Step 01 - Trigger

Start workflows automatically when something changes

Triggers define when the automation starts. Birdview reacts automatically to project updates, activity changes, approvals, assignments, deadlines, time logs, expenses, messages, and scheduled dates.

  • Project or activity created
  • Project or activity updated
  • Activity completed
  • Assignee changes
  • Time entry or expense created
  • Message approvals
  • Activities ending in X days
  • Calendar-based recurring triggers

Step 02 - Condition

Add rules that make automations more precise

Conditions help refine when the automation should continue. Use filters and property-based logic to make sure workflows run only when the right criteria are met.

  • Status changes
  • Portfolio or space
  • Assignees or project members
  • Customers or custom fields
  • Dates and deadlines
  • Billable or approval status
  • Expense amounts or ranges
  • Specific property changes
Step 03 - Action

Automatically perform the next step in the workflow

Actions define what Birdview should do after triggers and conditions match. Automate repetitive updates, assignments, notifications, reminders, and other operational tasks directly inside Birdview.

  • Create or update projects
  • Create or update activities
  • Assign or unassign users
  • Complete activities or projects
  • Add messages or comments
  • Send automated emails
  • Create time logs or expenses
  • Update multiple project activities at once
