# Set Up Automations, Alerts and Reports
An automation watches something in a LangWatch project and acts when it happens. There are three kinds, all created with `langwatch trigger create`:
- **Automation**: acts on each trace that matches a trace condition (`--filter-query`).
- **Alert**: watches one series of a custom graph and fires when it crosses a threshold (`--custom-graph-id`, `--graph-alert`, `--alert-type`).
- **Report**: renders a dashboard, a graph or a table of traces on a schedule (`--report`).
Each one delivers through one action: `SEND_SLACK_MESSAGE`, `SEND_EMAIL`, `SEND_WEBHOOK`, `ADD_TO_DATASET` or `ADD_TO_ANNOTATION_QUEUE`.
## Prerequisites
Read the reference once before the first create, and the command's own help. Only read the docs pages this skill names; never guess a docs path:
