# Event-Based Automation Guide

- [Event-Based Automation](https://flowmate.gitbook.io/flowmate-documentation/event-based-automation-guide/event-based-automation.md): Event-Based Automation allows your system to trigger integrations the moment something happens. Instead of relying on scheduled polling, your API sends events to FlowMate in real time
- [Initial Setup for Event-Based Automation](https://flowmate.gitbook.io/flowmate-documentation/event-based-automation-guide/initial-setup-for-event-based-automation.md): The API implementation gives you full control over how FlowMate integrations appear and behave inside your product.
