Manage, deploy, and monitor your live crews (automations) in one place.

Overview#

Automations is the live operations hub for your deployed crews. Use it to deploy from GitHub or a ZIP file, manage environment variables, re‑deploy when needed, and monitor the status of each automation.

Deployment Methods#

Deploy from GitHub#

Use this for version‑controlled projects and continuous deployment.

Click Configure GitHub and authorize access.

Choose the Repository and Branch you want to deploy from.

Turn on Automatically deploy new commits to ship updates on every push.

Add secrets individually or use Bulk View for multiple variables.

Click Deploy to create your live automation.

Deploy from ZIP#

Ship quickly without Git—upload a compressed package of your project.

Select the ZIP archive from your computer.

Provide any required variables or keys.

Click Deploy to create your live automation.

Automations Dashboard#

The table lists all live automations with key details:

• CREW: Automation name
• STATUS: Online / Failed / In Progress
• URL: Endpoint for kickoff/status
• TOKEN: Automation token
• ACTIONS: Re‑deploy, delete, and more

Use the top‑right controls to filter and search:

• Search by name
• Filter by Status
• Filter by Source (GitHub / Studio / ZIP)

Once deployed, you can view the automation details and have the Options dropdown menu to chat with this crew, Export React Component and Export as MCP.

Best Practices#

• Prefer GitHub deployments for version control and CI/CD
• Use re‑deploy to roll forward after code or config updates or set it to auto-deploy on every push
