Call automations.test_run

Authorizations

Authorization
string
header
required

An API key minted at Settings › API & MCP. Send it as Authorization: Bearer <key>. A key carries its holder's own permissions, resolved on every call — revoking a membership closes the key's reach immediately. Keep it in an environment variable (GOOSY_API_KEY), never in a committed file.

Headers

x-request-id
string

Your own id for this request, echoed back and recorded on the audit trail. 1–128 characters from A–Z a–z 0–9 . _ : -, starting with a letter or digit; anything else is replaced by a generated id.

Maximum string length: 128

Body

application/json
board_id
string

The id of the automation to test, as automations.list answers it — never its name. Omit it to test the automation this conversation is on; for another automation the operator names, read its board_id from automations.list and pass that.

sample
object

Sample trigger data, shaped as a real trigger of this automation would carry it — for a form capture, { event: { payload: { fields: { form: "application" } } } }. Pass it only with trigger details the operator gave (a form they named, say), as test values; a plain test passes none. Any person in it is replaced by the synthetic test contact, which stands in for them. A JSON object, at most 16 KB.

confirmation_id
string<uuid>

Omit to propose: the first call says what would happen, returns a confirmation_id and changes nothing. To go ahead, send the same arguments again with that confirmation_id, on a member's own API key; a service account's key can propose but never confirm.

Pattern: ^([0-9a-fA-F]{8}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{12})$
workspace
string

Which workspace to run in — its slug. Omit to use your default. With more than one reachable workspace and no default, the call is refused and the choices are listed.

Minimum string length: 1

Response

The call was admitted and dispatched. ok says whether the tool succeeded — a refusal the tool itself produced is still a 200, exactly as it is a successful JSON-RPC result over MCP.

The tool ran and answered.
