This practical course teaches how to design and implement automations and integrations that reduce manual handoffs and enforce governance. You will map manual processes into trigger-action flows, design and test single-purpose automations (WIP enforcement and overdue escalation), and build secure point-to-point integrations to send project updates to communication channels. Emphasis is on rule logic, filters, test cases, and a concise runbook to operationalize automations reliably. You will validate automations against simple acceptance criteria and deliver a working single-rule automation, an integration diagram, and a troubleshooting log for handover. The course balances engineering considerations with governance and security basics to ensure automations are maintainable and auditable.
