# Pipeline Automation

> Schedule recurring workflows and trigger actions automatically

Canvas can run workflows on a schedule, from daily prospecting to weekly enrichment to recurring research, without you being there.

## How it works

Ask Canvas to set up an automation:

> Schedule a daily automation at 8am to find 10 new AI startups, get their CTOs' emails, and push them to HubSpot.

Canvas creates a recurring job that runs on your schedule. Each run produces a full conversation you can review afterward.

## Example prompts

> Every Monday, enrich any new leads added to Salesforce this week and score them.

> Schedule a daily automation at 7am to pull my Granola meetings and draft follow-up emails.

> Run outbound prospecting every weekday: find 20 companies matching my ICP and enrich the decision makers.

See [Automations](/automations) for setup details.

## What Canvas uses under the hood

  Any SDK method can be used in an automation. Common patterns:

  * [Companies](/data/companies) + [People](/data/people) + [Contacts](/data/contacts): recurring prospecting
  * [AI Research](/data/ai-research): scheduled research and scoring
  * [Integrations](/integrations): CRM syncs and Slack alerts
