The most important aspect of the chapter, however, was the use of automation to power up our use cases. We learned how we can make a self-triggering automation loop using Date and Time triggers. And, in the other automation we built, we made use of the trigger for changing the value of a column to make updates to another field.

In the next chapter, we will build a use case requiring multiple apps and personalization...
