Hi everyone, I’m excited to announce we just launched a new condition in rules that allows you to create automations based on Milestones and Approvals! 🎉

#### ⚡ **Condition: Task is approval or milestone**

You can now check whether a task is a milestone or an approval and take specific actions. This new condition in Rules will provide you with greater flexibility and control when automating your workflows, ensuring your tasks are managed exactly how you need them!
