#### Video transcript

In the Content Stack Marketplace, we have the option to install some automations that have already been built for us. To get here, let's go ahead and select the Marketplace icon on the left side, and then in the menu, choose Automations. Today, we have four pre-built automations and we're adding new ones all the time. Let's take a look at the automate Slack messages for new entry automation. Click the Import Automation button, and then select the Automation Hub project that you want to import to. Here, I'm going to choose my demo project. Go ahead and import the automation, and then choose your trigger. Since we want to trigger these things on every time a new entry is created, we're going to choose the Entry Trigger, and then down here in Event, we'll say Entry Created, and then choose our stack. Go ahead and click Proceed. And the next step is the Test Trigger, and this is one of the most important steps. So let's click the Test Trigger button and log in the content stack and test out creating a new entry in the stack. So go over here to the Starter app. Go to Entries, and just create any new entry. Choose a blog entry here. Fill in any mandatory fields. You can see I've got a image field that's required here. And click Save. Now we've created a new entry. Let's go back to our automation here. It's not in that window. Back over here and click Retest. Now you can see that I've got my JSON properties all loaded up, which is great. Click Save and Exit, and then finally save and exit down here. On the second step, this is where we're going to send the message to Slack. You can see it's already been set up and configured for us, including adding a message right here. This does assume that we have a title in the entry, which we always do, and here's our content type title. You need to go ahead and add your Slack account, but then choose a channel from your Slack account that you want to post a message in. After that, you can click Proceed and test this automation. Once that's complete, then you can go ahead and activate the automation in the top left. This is just an example of how easy it is to get started using automations from the Marketplace. Thank you very much.

#### Key takeaways

- Connect **Automations in Marketplace** back to your stack configuration before moving to the next module.
- Capture one concrete artifact (screenshot, Postman call, or code snippet) that proves the step works in your environment.
- Re-read the delivery versus management boundary for anything you changed in the entry model.
