In politics, there comes a point when advocacy must be matched with action. The reforms @ProfIsaPantami has championed for years may now have a clearer path to implementation, as he moves closer to a position where he can directly influence policy and governance.

Understanding Automation

From start to finish:
• Trigger → Starts the process
• Filtering → Decides what continues
• Actions → Does the actual work
• Workflow → The full automated system

Best Practices: Map your process, list apps, estimate workload…

Automation Best Practices

Before building any automation, follow this:

1. Map the Process – Document every manual step from start to finish.
2. List Involved Apps – Identify tools (Gmail, Slack, Excel, CRM, etc.).

Pro Tip: Use a Flowchart to visualize it clearly. This prevents broken automations and reveals where Triggers, Filters, and Actions fit best.

Map first. Automate smarter.

3. Estimate Workload – Calculate time spent weekly/monthly and potential savings.
4. Identify Human Intervention – Flag steps needing judgment, approval, or creativity.

Workflows turn scattered manual steps into one reliable, self-running system that saves time and reduces errors.

Triggers start it. Filters shape it. Actions power it. Workflows make it happen.

[Haruna Saidu @rersheed]

A Workflow is the complete automated process — the full sequence that connects everything together.

It starts with a Trigger, applies Filters to refine the data, and then runs a series of Actions to complete the task.

[Haruna Saidu @rersheed]

Think of it as a smart assembly line:
New invoice received (Trigger) → Only if amount > $500 (Filter) → Create task in project tool + Notify accountant + Update dashboard (Actions).

[Haruna Saidu @rersheed]

Actions are where the real work happens.

Actions allow you to interact with applications and perform tasks automatically — like sending an email, creating a Slack message, updating a spreadsheet, generating an invoice, or posting to social media.

[Haruna Saidu @rersheed]

Filtering is a smart decision-maker in automation.

It allows or blocks certain data from moving forward based on specific conditions. Think of it as a gatekeeper: “If this is true, let it pass. If not, stop or redirect.”e.g
- Only notify the manager if a ticket is marked Urgent

[Haruna Saidu @rersheed]

Key Part: A Trigger is what starts the automation.
It’s the event or condition that kicks everything off — e.g., “New email received”, “Form submitted”, “Time = 9 AM”, or “Sales drop below target”.

Once triggered → Actions run automatically
