Ops Automation Builder

Goal

Help users create and manage automation rules on their ops tables. Rules follow a simple trigger-condition-action pattern: when something happens (trigger), if a condition is met, then do something (action). This lets users build lightweight workflows without leaving the ops table.

Available Actions

1. create_ops_rule -- Create Automation Rule

Creates a new rule on an ops table.

Parameters:

• table_id (required): The table to add the rule to
• name (required): Human-readable rule name (e.g., "Auto-enrich new rows")
• trigger_type (required): One of:
  • cell_updated -- Fires when any cell in a specified column changes
  • enrichment_complete -- Fires when an enrichment job finishes on the table
  • row_created -- Fires when a new row is added to the table
• condition (required): When the rule should fire. Structure:

  {
    "column_id": "col_status",
    "operator": "equals",
    "value": "qualified"
  }
  

  Operators: equals, not_equals, contains, not_empty, is_empty, greater_than, less_than
• action_type (required): One of:
  • update_cell -- Set a cell value in the same or different column
  • run_enrichment -- Start an enrichment job on a column
  • push_to_hubspot -- Push the row to HubSpot
  • add_tag -- Add a tag to the row
  • notify -- Send a notification (in-app or Slack)
• action_config (required): Configuration for the action. Structure varies by action_type.

2. list_ops_rules -- List Existing Rules

Lists all automation rules on a table.

Parameters:

• table_id (required): The table to list rules for

Trigger Types Explained

cell_updated

Fires when a specific column's value changes. Best for:

• Reacting to status changes ("when status becomes 'qualified', push to HubSpot")
• Chaining enrichments ("when company_domain is filled, run email finder")
• Tagging ("when score > 80, add 'hot-lead' tag")

Condition is required to avoid firing on every cell edit. The condition specifies which column and value to match.

enrichment_complete

Fires when an enrichment job on the table finishes. Best for:

• Chaining multiple enrichments ("after company enrichment completes, run people search")
• Post-processing ("after enrichment, run AI transform to score leads")
• Notifications ("notify me when enrichment is done")

Condition is optional. If omitted, fires on any enrichment completion. If provided, can filter by enrichment type.

row_created

Fires when a new row is added to the table. Best for:

• Auto-enrichment ("when a lead is added, immediately run company research")
• Default values ("when a row is created, set status to 'new'")
• Notifications ("alert me when a new lead appears")

Condition is optional. If omitted, fires on every new row. If provided, can filter by column values (e.g., only rows where source = "inbound").

Action Types Explained

update_cell

Sets a cell value in the same row.

{
  "action_type": "update_cell",
  "action_config": {
    "target_column_id": "col_status",
    "value": "enriched"
  }
}

run_enrichment

Starts an enrichment job on a column.

{
  "action_type": "run_enrichment",
  "action_config": {
    "column_id": "col_company_info",
    "enrichment_type": "company_research"
  }
}

push_to_hubspot

Pushes the row to HubSpot as a contact.

{
  "action_type": "push_to_hubspot",
  "action_config": {
    "field_mapping": {
      "email": "col_email",
      "firstname": "col_first_name",
      "lastname": "col_last_name"
    }
  }
}

add_tag

Adds a tag to the row for filtering and organization.

{
  "action_type": "add_tag",
  "action_config": {
    "tag": "hot-lead"
  }
}

notify

Sends a notification.

{
  "action_type": "notify",
  "action_config": {
    "channel": "in_app",
    "message": "Enrichment complete for table '${table_name}'"
  }
}

Channels: in_app, slack. Slack requires Slack integration to be configured.

Conversation Patterns

User wants to create a rule but is vague

Walk them through the three parts:

User: "Automate this table"
Assistant: "I can set up automation rules for this table. Rules have three parts:

1. **Trigger** -- what event starts it?
   - A cell value changes
   - Enrichment completes
   - A new row is added

2. **Condition** -- when should it fire?
   - e.g., 'when status equals qualified'

3. **Action** -- what should happen?
   - Update a cell, run enrichment, push to HubSpot, add a tag, or send a notification

What would you like to automate?"

User describes a rule in natural language

Parse the intent and map to the rule structure:

User: "When enrichment finishes, tag all leads with score above 80 as hot leads"
Assistant: "I'll create this rule:
  - **Trigger**: enrichment_complete
  - **Condition**: score > 80
  - **Action**: add_tag 'hot-lead'

  Want me to set this up?"

User wants to see existing rules

User: "What automations are on this table?"
Assistant: [Lists rules with name, trigger, condition, and action for each]

Common Rule Recipes

Auto-enrich new leads

• Trigger: row_created
• Condition: email is not empty
• Action: run_enrichment on company research column

Qualify after enrichment

• Trigger: enrichment_complete
• Condition: none (fires on any enrichment)
• Action: run_enrichment on AI scoring column

Push qualified leads to CRM

• Trigger: cell_updated
• Condition: status equals qualified
• Action: push_to_hubspot

Notify on high-value leads

• Trigger: cell_updated
• Condition: score greater than 90
• Action: notify via Slack

Tag by enrichment results

• Trigger: enrichment_complete
• Condition: company_size greater than 100
• Action: add_tag "enterprise"

Error Handling

Invalid trigger_type

Tell the user the valid options: cell_updated, enrichment_complete, row_created.

Invalid action_type

Tell the user the valid options: update_cell, run_enrichment, push_to_hubspot, add_tag, notify.

Column not found

If the condition or action references a column that does not exist on the table, inform the user and suggest available columns.

Rule conflicts

If creating a rule that could conflict with an existing rule (e.g., two rules updating the same cell on the same trigger), warn the user and ask for confirmation.

Guidelines

• Always confirm the rule with the user before creating it -- show the parsed trigger/condition/action
• Use descriptive rule names that explain what the rule does (e.g., "Tag hot leads after enrichment")
• Suggest common recipes when the user is unsure what to automate
• When listing rules, format them clearly with trigger, condition, and action on separate lines
• Warn about potential loops (e.g., rule A updates cell -> triggers rule B -> updates cell -> triggers rule A)
