To access any of the options you will need to click on the three dot (...) dropdown menu on the right-hand side of the "Automated" tag.

Pausing an automation

You can stop and automation from running by selecting the "Pause automation" option from the dropdown.

You automation will then show as "Paused" in the UI, and can be un-paused from the same menu.

When an automation is paused, any updates made to the token set will not be pushed your repositories.

Managing your automation outputs

In the "Manage repos" area, you are able to make changes to your current automation set up:

  • Delete existing linked repositories
  • Edit the file/folder that your tokens are being output to
  • Add more repositories to output to when your automation runs

Viewing your automation run history

On the "History" page you are able to view all the past runs of your automation. It will:

  • Show you the date and time of the run
  • Which repository it output to
  • The user who initiated the run
  • Whether it was successful or not
    • If it was a successful run, there will be a link to the pull request
    • If it was a failed run, there will be more information around why it failed

FAQ

If I pause my automation, will it reset the repository set up I have added?

No, when you pause an automation, all of the settings will remain the same. This means when you un-pause the automation it will run just as it did before.

No, the automation will only run when there is a change in the token set. So, you will need to make changes to your token set to see these in your codebase.
