- **Event-driven flows**: `POST /v1/track` (`events.track` in the SDKs)
  records what a person did; a flow listening for that event sends, waits,
  waits for another event with a timeout, and branches. See
  [Automations](/docs/automations).
- **`/v1/automations`**: create, edit, activate, pause, and read runs with
  a step-by-step timeline. New key scope `automations`.
- **Webhook events**: `automation.run.started`, `automation.run.completed`,
  `automation.run.failed`.
- **Console**: Automations, with three starter templates and a "Send a test
  event" button that works in the sandbox.
