Is it possible to create scripts OR automation on tables using API endpoints?

Thanks,
Deepak.

The API documentation doesn’t mention anything about creating scripts of automations. Thus, you can conclude that it is not possible.

No, but… here’s how I manage this.

  1. Create an abstract automation script that can inform a webhook call into a service such as Autocode.
  2. Create the webhook service to listen for notices of record changes and the context of such change (a simple URL parameter).

The webhook service is dynamically designed to handle almost any automation context.
