4. **Built-in Plugins** - All 6 pre-built plugins documented
5. **Custom Scripts** - Writing your own automation logic
6. **API Methods Reference** - Complete API documentation
7. **Schedule Types** - Cron, interval, one-time examples
8. **Manage Tasks** - Creating and managing automations
9. **Real Examples:**
   - Win back lost customers (re-engagement campaign)
   - Low booking alerts (capacity monitoring)
   - Weekly reports (automated reporting)
10. **Safety Features** - Security protections
11. **Resource Limits** - Usage limits and quotas

### 2. Navigation Integration

**Modified Files:**
- `/frontend/src/App.tsx` - Added route `/help/plugins`
- `/frontend/src/components/Sidebar.tsx` - Added "Plugin Docs" menu item
- `/frontend/src/i18n/locales/en.json` - Added translation strings

**Access:**
- Menu: Help → Plugin Docs
- URL: `http://yourbusiness.lvh.me:5173/help/plugins`
- Icon: ⚡ Zap icon (perfect for automation!)
- Permission: Owner role only (same as API Docs)

### 3. Code Examples

All code examples are real, working code that can be copy-pasted:

#### Example 1: Simple Appointment Counter
```python
appointments = api.get_appointments(status='SCHEDULED')
count = len(appointments)
api.log(f'Found {count} appointments')
result = {'total': count}
```

#### Example 2: Customer Re-engagement
```python
# Get inactive customers (60+ days)
cutoff = (datetime.now() - timedelta(days=60)).strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
customers = api.get_customers(has_email=True)

# Send personalized emails with discount codes
for customer in inactive[:30]:
    api.send_email(
        to=customer['email'],
        subject='We Miss You! 20% Off',
        body=f"Hi {customer['name']}, get 20% off with COMEBACK20"
    )
```

#### Example 3: Low Booking Alerts
```python
# Get next 7 days
upcoming = api.get_appointments(
    start_date=today,
    end_date=next_week,
    status='SCHEDULED'
)

# Alert if < 10 bookings
if len(upcoming) < 10:
    api.send_email(
        to='manager@business.com',
        subject='⚠️ Low Bookings',
        body=f'Only {len(upcoming)} appointments next week'
    )
```

### 4. Visual Design

Matches the existing API Docs aesthetic:

- **Color-coded sections** - Different colors for different plugin categories
- **Interactive tabs** - Switch between Python, JSON, bash examples
- **Sidebar navigation** - Jump to any section
- **Feature cards** - Visual highlights of key features
- **Safety callouts** - Alert boxes for important information
- **Code syntax highlighting** - Easy-to-read code examples
