Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for remotely automating changes to third party applications from within a primary application are disclosed. The systems and methods may involve maintaining in the primary application, a table having rows, columns, and cells at intersections of the rows and columns, wherein the primary application is configured to enable the construction of automations defined by conditional rules for altering internal information in the primary application and external information in the third party applications; receiving an automation definition conditional on specific information input into at least one specific cell in the table of the primary application, wherein the automation definition is constructed using internal blocks and external blocks, the external blocks having links to the external third party applications; monitoring the at least one specific cell of the primary application for an occurrence of the specific information.
