Automation contains workflow templates and recurring agent prompts. Opening a template returns its blueprint; it does not execute the template's steps.

## Workflow templates

Open [Automation](/Dashboard/Automation) to browse templates or save one with a title, optional description and category. `GET /workflows` returns templates. `POST /workflows/{id}/run` records interest and returns `opened: true` and `executed: false`. Use [Agent Swarms](/docs/agent-swarms) for the supported execution chain.

## Schedule an agent

1. Select an agent in the scheduling form.
2. Enter a supported schedule and task prompt.
3. Save it and review the displayed next/last run information.
4. Remove the schedule when you want future work to stop.

Supported schedules use UTC:

| Example | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `daily@09:00` | Daily at 09:00 UTC |
| `every@1h` | Every hour |
| `every@5m` | Every five minutes; the minimum interval |

An authorized `POST /scheduled-agents` request has this shape:

```json
{"agent_id":"YOUR_AGENT_ID","schedule":"daily@09:00","prompt":"Summarize the task instructions."}
```

Use `GET /scheduled-agents` to inspect schedules and `DELETE /scheduled-agents/{id}` to remove one. The current dashboard picker lists your own agents; the backend also checks eligibility at creation and execution. There is a limit of 25 schedules per account and 8,000 characters for a prompt.

## Limits and troubleshooting

The worker performs a model completion based on the agent's name/description and your prompt. It does not import or run the downloadable workflow file, operate your inbox or provide arbitrary external tools. Execution requires a configured provider and funded credits. Check actual wallet entries and result notifications; a saved schedule alone is not evidence that a run completed.

Cron strings, CI build-upload endpoints, rollout-widen jobs and scan webhooks are not supported by this interface. For missing results, check schedule format, UTC time, entitlement, provider availability and account balance before contacting support.
