Accounts

Each account the automation needs is a row: the service, how far it may go there (Read, Write or Delete), why it needs it, and which of your connected accounts fills it. Change lists your other accounts of that service to pick from, Connect another one to sign in with a new account, and Take it out to stop using this one. After you take an account out, runs wait until another one is connected. When the service signs the automation out, for example because a token expired, the account shows Access expired · sign in again and a banner appears at the top of the page. Reconnect signs in again.

Until an account is connected:
  • runs by hand and on schedule do not start;
  • requests from a webhook or an event wait, for a week at most, and go on by themselves once it is connected.

What it may do

RowWhat it says
InternetThe only sites it may open, or that it may open any. Anything else is blocked
AI modelsWhether it asks AI models, and how much a run may spend on them
AgentWhether it has agent steps, and how much they may spend in one run
Its dataWhat it keeps between runs. Database tab opens it
ChangesThe most it may do with your data anywhere: only read, create and change, or delete
ApprovalsEach approval step, and that it asks you every time
Change next to a limit sets how many credits that part may spend in one run. When a run reaches it, the run stops. The limit is checked between steps, so the last step can go a little over.

Before it deletes anything in one of your accounts, an automation asks you every time.

Full automation

Full automation removes the questions before deleting and the approval steps: nothing waits for you, and everything goes on without asking. You still see every step in Runs. Only the owner can turn it on, after confirming I understand it will act without asking me.

Who can see and change it

An automation in a project follows the project’s roles: its members can see it, and editors can run it and change its settings and keys. The owner deletes it and turns on full automation. An automation outside any project is yours alone.
