**All your routine work, taken care of.** From automated alerts to metadata suggestions, Atlan's automations are designed to be customized: Trident suggests metadata for repeated assets, and Playbooks automate alerts, classification, ownership, and certification.

"We are big believers in automating wherever possible and the quality and depth of your APIs, the fact that everything can be API-driven, was a huge deal for us."
 - Phil Warner, Director of Data, Boulevard (stack: Salesforce, Snowflake, AWS S3, dbt)

## Trident Suggestions: your magic wand for documentation

Trident auto-magically infers and suggests metadata for repeated assets, so you don't get stuck doing repetitive work. Metadata appears with Atlan's two magic words, "Suggestions available".

- Description suggestions
- Owner suggestions
- Term suggestions

## Playbooks: Zapier for metadata

Playbooks are automations that 10x your data team. Get alerts for critical issues, auto-classify sensitive data, and automatically update documentation, so you spend more time on meaningful projects and less time writing descriptions and classifying data.

- **A playbook to automate every task:** create rules and filters to automatically identify unused assets, accelerate metadata documentation, and propagate classifications across sensitive data assets.
- **Auto-classify sensitive data as PII:** Atlan automatically identifies and classifies sensitive data using business logic, so you stay compliant with industry and geography data policies.
- **Assign experts to tables at scale:** Atlan assigns data owners to data sources, like your Finance team to Stripe data. You'll never hear "Who owns this data?" in your Slack channel again.
- **Certify all tables inside a user-facing, verified schema:** if your schema is verified, you don't have to verify every table. Playbooks automatically identify the right tables to verify and attach a verified tag.
- **Notify data engineers of assets impacted by failed pipelines:** Atlan alerts you about critical issues in your data stack, so your team saves hours fixing root causes instead of finding them.

"We liked that Atlan has a fundamentally open philosophy. This gave us the ability to customize the product for our end users, bringing together the best of open-source with a polished, off-the-shelf user experience."
 - Akash Deep Verma, Director of Data Engineering, Delhivery (stack: AWS Glue, Airflow). [Read the full story](https://atlan.com/downloads/delhivery-case-study/)
