Update Automation

Update an existing automation's configuration and workflow.

Use Cases:

• Modify automation trigger settings
• Add, remove, or update workflow nodes
• Change workflow connections (edges)
• Update automation name or description
• Iterate on draft automations before publishing

Behavior:

• Only provided fields are updated (partial updates supported)
• Only DRAFT automations can be updated
• Validates that all edges reference existing nodes (if both are provided)
• Schema validation is lenient — strict validation happens at publish time
• Returns the complete updated automation object

Required Scope: write:automations

Updatable Fields:

• name: Automation display name (1-100 characters)
• description: Automation description (max 500 characters)
• trigger: Trigger type and configuration
• nodes: Array of workflow nodes
• edges: Array of connections between nodes

Note: To update a published automation, create a new version and publish it. Published automations cannot be directly modified.
