The Automations pane allows you to create, edit, and enable watchers and subscriptions.
Watchers: Â These are Final Cut Server items that you configure to monitor a device.
When an event occurs that it is watching for, such as a media file being added to the
device, the watcher executes a response, such as copying the media file to another
location or sending an email.
Subscriptions:
 These are Final Cut Server items that you configure to monitor
metadata changes. When an event occurs that the subscription is watching for, such
as an asset having its current status changed to Ready for Review, the subscription
executes a response such as sending an email to the reviewer.
