Deploying Automations

Now that our automation is complete, it’s time to save and set it to run automatically according to the schedule we created. To save, simply enter a name for your automation and click the Save button in the toolbar at the top of the editor. Once saved, the page will navigate to the Automations page, where you’ll see your newly listed automation.

When you save an automation, it doesn't start running right away. This gives you time to review and make any final adjustments. Once you’re ready for it to go live, you'll need to deploy the automation by clicking the Deploy button, as shown below. After deployment, the automation will run automatically based on the schedule you’ve set, without requiring any manual intervention.

If you need to temporarily stop an automation, you can pause it using the Pause button, which becomes visible after deployment. When paused, the automation won’t respond to any triggers or scheduled events. You can resume it later by redeploying it, allowing it to start running again.

Even after deploying an automation, you can still make changes if necessary. To avoid disrupting the live automation, any modifications you make won’t take effect immediately. Once you've made changes, simply click the Re-deploy button. This button will appear only after you’ve edited a deployed automation, ensuring the updates are applied when you're ready.
