The Automations page (/automations) is the native workflow builder for your workspace. Build multi-step graphs with triggers, actions, test runs, and a full run history. Plan gate: automation_platform. Monthly free run allowance: max_automation_runs (-1 = unlimited free, 0 = no free runs). After the free quota is exhausted, each additional run debits automation_run_credits (platform base in credit_settings, tenant sell price via tenants.credit_pricing). AI steps (Custom Prompt, Extract Fields, MCP · Call tool) additionally debit workspace credits for token usage: list price × 2.5 (token cost + 150% margin). Charged credits appear on the run (credits_charged) and in step output / Test panel. Graph end: A leaf with no outgoing edge completes the run successfully. Explicit terminals (stop, variables.return, webhook.respond) set halt and end immediately — no further connection is required (canvas hides the source handle).

Triggers

  • On Call Completed — after a voice call ends (with analysis). Requires a specific assistant.
  • On Inbound Call — when an inbound call starts.
  • Inject input variables (call.variables) — at call start, replaces the assistant variable webhook. End with Return variables.
  • Email received — inbound email via SendGrid.
  • Conversation started / ended — messaging channel open / closed.
  • Incoming WebhookPOST /api/automations/{id}/webhook.
  • Booking created / cancelled / rescheduled, Manual, Schedule (soon).
  • App events (Beta) — each connected app (Gmail, GitHub, …) appears as its own platform with schema-driven triggers. Requires workspace Beta Features. Activating creates the trigger instance.

Actions (plugins)

Organized as Platform → type → action (Famulor, AI, Time, WhatsApp, Telegram, X, HTTP, Slack, …).
  • AI: Extract Fields, Custom Prompt
  • Time: Delay For / Until, Get Current Date and Time, Convert Timezone, Format
  • Logic: Condition, Filter, Switch, Random, Stop, Note, Set variable, Run Code, Loop on Items
  • Contacts: Create/Update, Get by phone, List, Add tags/attributes
  • Calls: Call Phone Number
  • Messaging: SMS, Email (workspace channel), Send Email (SMTP) via a saved SMTP connection, Channel message (WhatsApp / Telegram / X on open conversations)
  • Knowledge: Add / Delete / Get source
  • HTTP / webhooks: HTTP Request, Slack / Discord / Teams Incoming Webhooks, Webhook respond (sync HTTP status/body for inbound webhooks)
  • CRM / SMTP / MCP connections: reusable credentials under Automations → Connections (Airtable, HubSpot, Salesforce, Close, SMTP, Supabase / Neon / Brevo / Atlassian / Shopify Storefront MCP, plus Notion/Stripe/GitHub/Linear/Slack MCP). Test Connection for SMTP verifies the relay and sends a test email to the admin. Official MCP presets that are OAuth-only in the vendor docs (e.g. ClickUp, Asana, PayPal login) are not listed yet — our connection model needs a Bearer/API key for headless automation runs.
  • Connected apps (Beta): Browse apps in Connections to OAuth-connect toolkits (search + infinite scroll over the full catalog). In the builder, app platforms load as paginated metadata first; tools/triggers load per app when selected (runtime: composio.execute / composio.event). Requires the platform app-connector API key and Beta Features. Native CRM/SMS/MCP nodes are unchanged. Bulk catalog (/api/automations/composio/catalog) warms only the requested page (default 40, max 100) — prefer toolkit= or /tools + /trigger-types for lazy load.
  • Airtable actions: List, Find record, Search records, Find or create, Get by id, Create / Create records (batch ≤10), Update, Delete. Find/Search map to List Records + filterByFormula.
  • MCP: Call tool — connection + tool multi-select (or all) + agent prompt with flash variables; the agent picks the tool and fills arguments
  • Variables: Return variables (for call.variables)

Organization

Automations support free-form tags (filter on the list page) and show the bound assistant when the trigger uses assistant_id. Create/update via UI, REST (tags on /api/v1/automations), or MCP (create_automation / update_automation).

Runs & failure alerts

The list page has Automations and Runs tabs. Use Alert settings to set a workspace inbox for failed runs (tenants.automation_alert_email) and toggle alerts on/off (automation_failure_alerts_enabled). When no custom email is set, failed runs email:
  • Whitelabel customer workspaces → tenant-admin support_email (plus workspace owners/admins)
  • Platform root workspaces → platform admin contact/SMTP email from /admin/settings (welcome_email.contact_email, else smtp_settings.from_email) plus workspace owners/admins
Toggle per automation: notify_on_failure (default on).

Assistant webhook binding

In the assistant Webhook card, choose Automation delivery and pick a call.completed automation, or keep a custom HTTPS URL.
