# Automation in ChatSyncs

> Everything for automating WhatsApp conversations in ChatSyncs — flows, sequences, quick triggers, and sending data in and out.

**Automation** is anything ChatSyncs does on its own in response to a trigger — a keyword, a
button tap, a form submission — instead of a person replying or acting by hand every time.
