# Thing Automations

Within the DPS editing page of a thing, you can select the **Automations** tab to configure automations that will be evaluated only for a specific thing.

For instance, a customer can define an automation to invoke a legacy API under certain conditions and execute some actions.

You can define multiple actions of these following types:

- [Execute Command](/docs/automation-execute-command): allows you to execute a command on the remote object where the event occurred.
- [Notification](/docs/automation-notification): email a specific address including into the body information of the event context.
- [REST API](/docs/automation-rest-api): performs an HTTPS request on an external REST API. This action supports authentication, header configuration and payload configuration in case of POST/PUT methods.
