Creating an Automation
Open the Automations page
Navigate to Automations in the sidebar. Start from scratch or pick a template.
Write instructions
Describe what the agent should do on each run. Be specific about which data
sources to check, what criteria to use, and what action to take.
Select an agent
Choose the coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode). The agent picks the
repo at runtime from your workspace’s connected repos.
