# POST /code/automations/{automationId}/enable

`POST /code/automations/{automationId}/enable`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.caveman.so/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.caveman.so/api/v1/code/automations/{automationId}/enable`
- Auth: one of:
  - OAuth 2
    - Authorization code: `/api/v1/oauth/authorize`
    - Token URL: `/api/v1/oauth/token` scopes: `code:write`
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in cookie `cave_access`
  - API key in cookie `__Secure-cave_identity.session_token`

POST /api/v1/code/automations/{automationId}/enable on the Caveman Cloud control plane. Requires the code:write scope. Not exposed to autonomous agents: Cloud automations are applied from a repository's .caveman/ files by the Code app, a code:run key or a push to the default branch, and a person approves wider authority (ADR 0133). An agent works inside a run's session and never applies, approves, enables or fires automations from a control-plane connection.

## Response `2XX`

Successful response. Exact status depends on synchronous or durable delivery outcome.

## Other responses

- `4XX`: Structured failure. `error.code` is stable; `error.request_id` is echoed in the x-cave-request-id header.
- `5XX`: Structured failure. `error.code` is stable; `error.request_id` is echoed in the x-cave-request-id header.
