Automations

Automations run recurring tasks in the background within a workspace boundary.

What the Automations page gives you

• Beta automation workspace with built-in templates.
• Start with a template cards for common engineering workflows.
• Your automations list with search/filter and run controls.
• One-click actions: Run now, Pause/Resume, Run history, Edit, Delete.

Creation paths

1. Template-first: pick one from Start with a template.
2. Manual setup: click New automation and fill prompt + schedule.
3. Chat-first: ask Tentarc in a conversation to create it for you; Quick Prompts also include automation shortcuts.

Fast start

1. Open Automations.
2. Choose a template, click New automation, or create from chat via Quick Prompts.
3. Define prompt + schedule, or confirm the generated plan.
4. Run once with Run now and validate output.

High-impact patterns

1. Daily engineering brief: PR/CI/blocker summary every morning.
2. Weekly release notes draft: compile merged PRs with risk notes.
3. Dependency drift watch: periodic drift detection with action hints.

Reliability visibility

Each job shows:

• status: Active / Paused
• schedule
• next run time
• last run result: Success / Failed / Running / Skipped
