Headers

Idempotency-Keystring

A key you choose to make this request safe to retry: 1 to 255 printable ASCII characters. Send the same key with the same request to get the first response again, marked Idempotent-Replayed: true. Routes that return a secret once, and claim links, do not replay a response. Event ingest uses the key as the event's identity.

Response

Automation cancelled

created_atstring date-time

When this automation was created

descriptionstring

Optional human-readable description of what this automation does

error_messagestring

Error message if the one-time automation failed

event_dataobject

Event data submitted when this automation fires

execution_completed_atstring date-time

When the current fan-out execution completed

execution_errorstring

Error message if the fan-out execution failed, or JSON-encoded diagnostics for completed runs with CEL eval skips

execution_started_atstring date-time

When the current fan-out execution started

execution_status'IDLE' | 'EXECUTING' | 'COMPLETED' | 'FAILED'

Progress of the current run that sends events to participants, separate from status.

IDLE: no run is in progress.
EXECUTING: Scrip is sending events to the matching participants.
COMPLETED: the latest run finished; the automation can run again when its trigger is next due.
FAILED: the latest run stopped with an error; the automation can still run again when its trigger is next due.

guard_conditionstring

CEL expression evaluated at trigger time; skips the participant if false

idstring uuid

Unique identifier for this automation

last_errorstring

Error message from the most recent cron execution, if any (cron trigger only)

last_evaluated_atstring date-time

When participant filters were last evaluated (PARTICIPANT_STATE trigger only)

last_run_atstring date-time

When this automation last fired (cron trigger only)

namestring

Human-readable label for this automation

next_run_atstring date-time

When this automation will next fire (cron trigger only)

participant_filterstring

CEL expression that determines which participants are enrolled

participant_idstring uuid

Target participant for program-scoped one-time automations

participants_processedinteger

Participants Scrip has sent the event to in the current run so far.

participants_skipped_errorinteger

Participants skipped because participant_filter or guard_condition CEL evaluation errored

participants_totalinteger

Active participants in the program that the current run checks. When the automation has a participant_filter or guard_condition, filter_hints narrow this count; the filter and guard themselves are not applied, so a finished run can report fewer participants_processed.

processed_atstring date-time

When this one-time automation was processed

program_idstring uuid

The program this automation belongs to

scope'PROGRAM' | 'PARTICIPANTS'

Whether the automation sends one event to the program (PROGRAM) or one event to each matching participant (PARTICIPANTS).

source'API' | 'RULE_ACTION' | 'SYSTEM'

How the automation was created.

API: created through the automations API.
RULE_ACTION: created by a SCHEDULE_EVENT or BROADCAST rule action.
SYSTEM: created by Scrip for scheduled work such as tier expiration.

source_event_idstring uuid

The event whose processing created this automation. Omitted when no source event is recorded, for example on automations created through the API.

source_rule_idstring uuid

The rule whose action created this automation. Omitted when no rule action created it, including automations created through the API.

status'ACTIVE' | 'PAUSED' | 'COMPLETED' | 'FAILED' | 'ARCHIVED'

Whether the automation can fire.

ACTIVE: fires when its trigger is due.
PAUSED: does not fire until you set it back to ACTIVE.
COMPLETED: a one-time automation that has fired; it cannot fire again.
FAILED: stopped after a failure; set it to ACTIVE to try again.
ARCHIVED: removed from use; it never fires again.

updated_atstring date-time

When this automation was last updated
