# Introduction

**TL;DR:** Ready-made scenarios for building playbooks in Ballet, grouped by department. Each recipe names the trigger, connectors, and steps, and includes a copy-paste prompt for Ask Ballet. Pick the closest recipe, paste the prompt into the Console, then review the plan and run.

## Who this is for

Builders and Owners who want a proven starting point for a common automation instead of building from scratch.

## How do I use a recipe?


1. Find the department and scenario closest to your workflow.
2. Open the recipe and read **What you'll need** (connectors, secrets, trigger).
3. Copy the **Ask Ballet prompt** and paste it into the Console on Home.
4. Review the proposed plan, confirm, and run the playbook.
5. Adjust steps and connectors to match your exact process.
