For example, creating a new task in JIRA and sending its details via email using Gmail is a Journey. Journeys can be simple or complex, depending on the use case and the apps involved. Once you have configured and activated a Journey, Quickwork automatically executes it each time the specified trigger event occurs. A few practical examples of Journeys are: * When a new task is created in the Google Tasks account, translate the note into Spanish (using Google Translate) and send the translated text to Microsoft Outlook. * When a Slack channel receives messages, if the message contains specific keywords, convert them into Trello cards to streamline task management. * Automatically add new Shopify customers to a Mailchimp mailing list for efficient email marketing campaigns. Consider a use case wherein a company receives customer feedback through various channels like online forms, emails, or manual entries. To manage this feedback efficiently, they need a streamlined process that ensures all issues and comments are promptly addressed by the customer support team. This can be achieved by creating a Journey where each customer feedback entry in a Google Sheets spreadsheet automatically generates a support ticket in Freshdesk. The automation ensures that no feedback is overlooked and all customer concerns are addressed on time. ## :books:Additional resources [Triggers to initiate Journeys](https://quickwork-docs.readme.io/docs/triggers)\ [Configuring actions](https://quickwork-docs.readme.io/docs/actions)\ [Establishing connections](https://quickwork-docs.readme.io/docs/establishing-connections)\ [Building your first Journey](https://quickwork-docs.readme.io/docs/building-your-first-journey)
