Looking after automations
Pause, resume, run now, rename, change the schedule, and read runs in the ClickRuntime dashboard.
Everything you can ask the assistant to do, you can also do in the ClickRuntime dashboard.
Home#
Your home page shows your automations as tiles, with See all for the full list. Each tile shows its schedule or trigger, its status, when it last ran, and when it runs next (or, for trigger links, when the last event arrived). A Needs attention strip at the top lists automations whose last run failed or that are waiting on setup.
The automation page#
| Action | What happens |
|---|---|
| Turn on | Takes a draft live once every item in Setup is ready. The dialog says how often it will run and warns you if this month's runs may run out. |
| Pause | Stops the schedule and stops events from running the script. Takes effect immediately. |
| Resume | Re-arms a paused automation. If this month's runs are used up, it starts running when the period resets. |
| Run now | Queues one run immediately. It counts toward monthly runs and has the same side effects as a normal run. |
| Rename | Changes the name shown here and in chat. |
| Edit schedule | Pick a new cadence and timezone, and preview the next three runs before saving. Saving takes effect right away. Cron schedules are shown read-only; ask the assistant to change them. |
The page also has these sections:
- Setup: every connection, secret, timezone and trigger link the automation needs, with a button to fix each one (Connect, Add secret, Set timezone or Show trigger link).
- Trigger link (trigger-link automations only): the URL, the signature check, a test event form and Recent events. See Trigger links.
- Retries (trigger-link automations only): how many attempts in total (1 to 3), and whether to Also retry script errors.
- Alerts: post to a Slack channel when a run ends, for Failed runs only or Every run. This needs Slack for notifications.
If the automation is likely to use up this month's runs, a warning at the top links to the plans.
Runs#
Each run shows its status, when it started, what triggered it, how long it took and its result. Checks that found nothing new are marked Nothing new · not counted. Open a run to see when it finished, which attempt it was, how many new items it found, the AI tokens it used, the error in plain language and its log, with secrets masked.
Advanced#
- Script: the Python code, read-only. Pick an earlier Version to see what changed. Ask the assistant to make changes.
- Remembered state: Clear live state erases the values the script keeps between runs, so the next run starts fresh. See State between runs.
- Delete automation: removes the automation, its trigger link, runs and remembered state. This can't be undone.
