Netlify is highlighting its `Netlify Functions` feature throughout December, which allows developers to trigger functions automatically via specific events such as form submissions, deploy status changes, and user interactions. The feature can be used to notify co-workers or perform other actions in response to these events, providing a convenient way to automate tasks and enhance the overall developer experience. With Netlify Functions, developers can unlock their creative potential by automating repetitive tasks and focusing on more important aspects of their projects.
