An **automation** is a request that runs by itself at the time you schedule. You write the request the way
you would write in a conversation, choose which agent it runs with and how often — and Elyra executes it,
keeping what happened for you to read later.

It is for the repeated work that does not need your presence: reviewing what opened, summarizing what
changed, triaging what arrived.

## Where to find it

In the **corner menu of the window** there is the **Automations** entry. The screen has two groups:

| Group | What it is |
|---|---|
| **Your routines** | The automations created here in Elyra |
| **External hosts** | Jobs that belong to another system; see [Automations from external hosts](/docs/en/fluxos/automacoes-externas/) |

## What the list shows

Each routine reports:

- the **name** and the **lifecycle state** — enabled, paused, running, never executed, with error;
- the **schedule**, in readable form;
- the **next execution**, when it exists ("next in 3 h", "next now");
- the **project** it works in, and the **agent** it uses.

Opening a routine shows the **detail**:

| Field | What it says |
|---|---|
| **Schedule** | The schedule in readable form |
| **Agent** | The agent that executes |
| **Source** | Where the task comes from, when the automation fetches work from a source |
| **Session** | Whether the runs reuse a session or start from scratch |
| **Grace** | How much delay still counts as "on time" |
| **Precheck** | The command that decides whether that run should happen |
| **Last run** | When the last execution was |
| **Tokens** | The accumulated consumption |

And the actions: **Run Now** (run now), **Edit automation**, **Delete automation** and the pause/resume
switch.

## What an automation is, and what it is not

- **It executes an agent**, not a script. The request is natural-language text, and the agent decides how to
  fulfill it — with the tools and the permissions it has.
- **It keeps history.** Each run is recorded with status, workspace, spend and tokens.
- **It does not replace supervision.** What it does happens without you watching; read the history before
  trusting it with anything sensitive.
- **It works in a project.** The routine belongs to a project, and it is in that project's repository that
  the work happens.

## Pausing is not deleting

The routine's switch **pauses** and **resumes**. Pausing stops the executions and **keeps everything**: the
request, the schedule and the history. It is what you want most of the time — to stop without losing
anything.

Deleting is another operation, and it is destructive.

## Scope and limits

- **The screen lists the installation's automations**, with the external jobs in a separate group.
- **One automation action at a time.** While an operation is in progress, the screen warns that another one
  is still running, instead of firing two on top of the same state.
- **A nonexistent id fails**, instead of returning an empty automation.
