Automation rules in Mintlify Starter Kit let you replace repetitive manual work with reliable, trigger-based workflows. Each rule follows a simple pattern: when something happens, the platform performs an action for you.
1

Open the Automation panel

Inside any project, click the Automation tab. You will see a list of active rules and a button to create a new one.
2

Choose a trigger

Select the event that starts the rule, such as a task status change, a due date approaching, or a new comment posted.
3

Add conditions (optional)

Narrow the rule so it only runs when specific criteria are met, for example if the task is assigned to a certain person or tagged with a specific label.
4

Pick an action

Define what Mintlify Starter Kit should do next: send a notification, move the task to another section, assign it to a teammate, or post to a connected Slack channel.
5

Save and enable

Name your rule, toggle it on, and click Save. The rule starts working immediately on new events.

​
Example use cases

When a new task is created without an owner and tagged “support,” automatically assign it to the on-call support lead and send a Slack alert.
When a task is due within 24 hours and still open, post a reminder in the project activity feed and email the assignee.
When a task is moved to “Review,” add the reviewer as a follower, set a review due date three days out, and move the task to the Review section.
Start with one simple rule, watch it run, then layer in conditions and additional actions as your workflow matures.
