Beta Feature: Automations is currently in beta and available for OpenHands Cloud and OpenHands Enterprise users only.
You can manage your automations by asking OpenHands directly—just like you created them.
Viewing Your Automations
Show me the details of the "Daily Report" automation
Enabling and Disabling
Pause an automation without deleting it:
Disable the "Daily Report" automation
Turn it back on:
Enable the "Daily Report" automation
Disabling an automation keeps all its settings intact. Use this when you want to temporarily stop runs without losing your configuration.
Changing the Schedule
Change the "Daily Report" automation to run at 10 AM instead of 9 AM
Update the "Weekly Cleanup" automation to run on Sundays at 2 AM UTC
Running Manually
Test an automation or run it outside its normal schedule:
Trigger the "Daily Report" automation now
Run the "Health Check" automation immediately
This is useful for:
- Testing a newly created automation
- Running a report on-demand
- Debugging issues
Viewing Past Runs
Show me recent runs of the "Daily Report" automation
Each run creates a conversation that automatically appears in your conversations list. You can:
- View in the OpenHands UI to see what happened
- Continue if you want to interact with the sandbox
- Debug if something went wrong
Automations are user-scoped, so all your automation runs appear alongside your regular conversations. Look for them in your conversations list after each scheduled run.
Run Statuses
- Pending: Scheduled, waiting to start
- Running: Currently executing
- Completed: Finished successfully
- Failed: Something went wrong—check the run details
Deleting Automations
Delete the "Old Report" automation
Deleting an automation is permanent. Consider disabling it instead if you might need it later.
