[✅ Solution] Get Automations via API

Hey Community,

currently working inside a rather big project with plenty of automations.
Regarding this I’ve got 2 questions.

  1. Is there a way to retrieve Workflow-Automations via the API?
    In the documentation I only found the calls to retrieve App records, Workspaces and so on, but nothing regarding the automations.

  2. When you copy a Workspace including the records, is there a way to ensure that no automations are triggered, for example record created or record updated trigger?
    From what I have seen so far all Automations in the copy have the same status (active or paused) as in the origin app. One way I’ve thought of is deactivating all automations, copy the Workspace and then activating them again. This is rather unpractical with over 70 automations in an actively used system.

I hope you can give me some help.

Hi @Eric_Scherlich,

currently there is no API enpoint to get Workflow Automations.

When duplicating a workspace or app, no update or create triggers are triggered, as these triggers are mainly for the creation or update of individual records.
When importing, you must therefore also explicitly select whether you want to trigger automations through this mass operation, as this makes sense for some use cases.

So you don’t have to deactivate it first and then activate it again.

Best regards
Leo
