Introduction to AM&DG
Welcome to the AM&DG documentation. This is your central resource for learning how to use the platform, from basic setup to advanced workflow construction.
Our mission is to make automation accessible to everyone. Whether you're a business owner, a marketer, or an operations professional, these guides will provide you with the knowledge to streamline your work and reclaim your time.
Creating Your First Workflow
A workflow is an automated process that connects your apps and services. Let's build a simple workflow that sends a Slack message whenever you receive a new entry from a Typeform form.
Step 1: Create a New Workflow
From your dashboard, click the "Create Workflow" button. You'll be taken to the workflow builder.
Step 2: Set Up the Trigger
The trigger is the event that starts your workflow.
- Search for and select "Typeform" as the trigger app.
- Choose the "New Form Entry" trigger event.
- Connect your Typeform account and select the form you want to monitor.
- Test the trigger to pull in a sample form entry. This data will be used to build the rest of your workflow.
Step 3: Configure the Action
The action is what your workflow does after it's triggered.
- Click the "+" icon to add an action step.
- Search for and select "Slack".
- Choose the "Send Channel Message" action.
- Connect your Slack account and choose the channel where you want to post the message.
- Map data from the Typeform trigger to customize your Slack message. For example, you can pull in the name and email from the form entry.
New form submission from: [Name from Typeform] - [Email from Typeform]
Step 4: Activate Your Workflow
Once you're happy with your setup, give your workflow a name and toggle it "On". Congratulations, your first workflow is now live!
Connecting Your Apps
AM&DG integrates with thousands of applications. Connecting your apps is a simple and secure process.
- Navigate to the "Apps" section from your main dashboard.
- Click "Add Connection" and search for the app you want to connect.
- A pop-up window will appear, prompting you to authorize AM&DG to access your account. This is typically done using OAuth, which is highly secure and doesn't require you to share your password with us.
- Once authorized, your connection will be available to use in any of your workflows.
