# Automations

> Describe a job in plain English. Polylane builds the automation and runs an agent on it every time the event fires.

Some work shouldn't need you. Describe the job once, in plain English.

## One sentence becomes a running automation. Polylane does the wiring.

- **Plain English in.** “When a critical Datadog alert fires, investigate and email the on-call team.” That's the whole setup: tweak it in chat, save.
- **An agent on every event.** Alerts, pushes, deploys, cron. The agent does the job in a thread you can open later.
- **Actions, on your terms.** Comment on the pull request, roll back the deploy, open an incident. The risky ones can wait until the agent decides it's real.
- **Only the runs that matter.** Results land in Slack or email. Quiet runs stay quiet, failures always reach you.
