- Keep the endpoint and year explicit in the instruction.
- Receive a concise recap with the automation run report.

- 2Create an automation with a name and report channel.
- 3In one instruction, state which task activity merits the lookup, the ABS year and endpoint, and the recap you need.
- 4Choose Task Created or Completed as the trigger, then test with one real task example.
