actualNoteContentPart: # What are automations and how are they useful?
  Services like [Siri Shortcuts](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT209055) , [IFTTT](https://ifttt.com/amplenote)  and [Pipedream](https://pipedream.com)  allow you to connect Amplenote to other apps and services, in a way that can automate common, repetitive actions or integrate features from multiple apps.
  
  The most common type of automation you can build will have a "Trigger and Action" architecture, that is you can make your automation run when something happens inside an app (the "trigger") and do something in a different app (the "action").
  
  Note that Siri, IFTTT and Pipedream are third-party services and not related to Amplenote. The creation and usage of automations might be subject to an extra fee, based on how frequently they are triggered (although as of March 2023, both services provide limited, but free functionality).
  
  Finally, note that currently Amplenote only registers "Actions" and no "Triggers". If you would like to use data triggers from Amplenote, please email us about it/create a feature request for it 🙏.

  ## How to use Shortcuts?
  Shortcuts can be used to connect different apps together, for example for adding content from an third-party app inside Amplenote (vice-versa not possible currently). Also, using "[Automations](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/shortcuts/apd690170742/ios) ", you can trigger certain Shortcuts automatically, or when a certain event occurs.
  
  For example, below is a Shortcut that syncs all new reminders from the Reminders app, and syncs them to Amplenote, once a day:
