ThinkAutomation Triggers and Shortcuts

Notes
Note: We're replacing this with PowerAutomate. TA Triggers are being phased out. 

What is ThinkAutomation?


ThinkAutomation is email parsing software that runs on a virtual server in the cloud

We use it to automate repetitive administrative tasks. 




Info
FYI: Emails going to the addresses we use for triggers are excluded from signatures in the Code Two dashboard using the recipient filter.
