## **Creating a Custom Automation Rule**

To create a new automation rule, users should follow these steps:

1. **Initiate the Creation Process**:

    - A list of pre-defined triggers on the left-hand side.
    - A central canvas for configuring the automation rule.
3. **Select a Trigger**:
  - Choose the desired trigger from the available list, organized into three categories: **Applicant/New Hire**, **Assignment**, and **Others** (detailed below).
4. **Configure Trigger Parameters**:
  - Specify parameters such as office locations, person status, or assignment status, as required by the selected trigger.
5. **Define the Action**:
  - On the canvas, select the action to be executed when the trigger is activated (e.g., sending an SMS, email, or survey).
6. **Save the Automation**:
  - Save the configuration to activate the automation rule.
