Automations

Update or pause an automation

Changed on Oct 20, 2026

Requires motion:automations:write for OAuth tokens. API keys use the owner account permissions. Automation access must be enabled for the account and environment. See /guides/automations. Automations execute only with GVA; Claude supports reads, pause, and delete only.
