Overview

An automation runs a prompt or a workflow on a schedule, for example a daily news digest, a weekly metrics summary or an hourly check on a connector. Every run’s result is saved so you can read it later or continue it in chat. Find automations under Workspace → Automations.

Create an automation

Click New Automation, then set:
1

Name

For example, “Daily news digest”.
2

Schedule

Choose Once, Hourly, Daily, Weekly or Monthly, then the time (or minute, for hourly), the day where relevant, and your Timezone.
3

Action

Choose what runs:
  • Prompt: write what the AI should do on each run, and pick a Model. Optionally pick an Agent to run it with that agent’s instructions and tools.
  • Workflow: pick a published workflow and fill in its Workflow inputs (or Edit as JSON).
Click Run Now to try it immediately. A run can take a few minutes.

Results

Open an automation and go to Results to see each run, with the tools it called and any structured output. From a result you can Copy it, Run again, or Continue in chat. Activity shows every run across all your automations.

Pause, resume and failures

  • Pause stops an automation without deleting it. Resume puts it back on schedule.
  • An automation that fails three times in a row is turned off. Resuming it clears the failure count.
  • If the agent or workflow it runs is deleted, choose a new target to start it again.
  • A Once automation finishes after its run. Pick a new date to schedule it again.
