# About Automate

Contentstack's Automate is a visual workflow builder using an automations-based trigger and action system.

Automations will help you automate business logic and help accomplish tasks without human intervention. You can set up the platform to inform another app to perform a particular action when an event happens in one app. For example, you can create an Automation to send Slack notifications when an entry in Contentstack gets created/updated/published/deleted.

To access Automate, log in to your [Contentstack account](https://www.contentstack.com/login/).

In the left-hand side primary navigation, click the **Automate** icon (as shown below) to go to Contentstack's Automate.
