It answers at once with the run id and pending; the run continues in the background and the automation's board shows how it went. Pass input to give the run its opening values, and a request_id of your own so a retried call answers the first run instead of starting a second. A draft or a switched-off automation is refused and nothing runs. Each run uses model and step time and is billed as a run. Not for trying a draft safely against the workspace's test contact — that is `automations.test_run`. Every result names the workspace it ran in. Say which workspace the answer is about. When the account has more than one workspace and none is selected, this tool refuses with `workspace_ambiguous` and lists the choices — offer them, never pick one. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json post /api/v1/tools/automations.run openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Goosy Bear API version: 1.0.0-beta summary: Manage workspace content, projects, Data tables, Pages, library and credits. description: >- BETA. This API is in beta: paths, request shapes and response envelopes may change, and every response carries an `x-goosy-api: beta` header for as long as that is true. A change is additive, or it is deprecated first: a response to a call that uses a deprecated feature carries `Deprecation` and `Sunset` headers, and nothing is removed until at least 90 days after its deprecation. Pin the OpenAPI document you generated against and re-generate when it changes. servers: - url: https://app.goosybear.ai description: Production security: - tenantApiKey: [] paths: /api/v1/tools/automations.run: post: tags: - automations summary: Call automations.run description: >- 'run the welcome automation now', 'kick off the onboarding automation for this lead' — start a live run of one switched-on automation in this workspace, named by its board_id (automations.list gives each one): the same run its board's Run now starts, on the version that is live, so its sends and actions are real.
