docs: Custom Automations section lacks screenshots and real-world examples #464

Description

The Custom Automations section contains only 1 screenshot and is heavily text-based with no real-world examples. A user reading this section cannot visualise how to actually build an automation for their team's workflow. The theoretical explanation alone is insufficient for users to confidently set up their first automation.

Location

docs.plane.so → Advanced Management → Automations → Custom Automations

Expected

  • 2-3 real-world automation examples showing common use cases
  • Step-by-step screenshots showing the full configuration flow
  • Example: "Auto-assign all bugs to QA team" with screenshots of each step

Suggested Fix

Add a "Common automation examples" subsection with:

  1. At least 2 real-world scenarios
  2. Full step-by-step screenshots for each scenario
  3. Explanation of what each automation does and why teams use it
