Run Automation by Script

[wjb]

Hello. I have a series of actions in an Automation set up to create records (tasks) when a new project is created.

Sometimes there’s a snafu and the project is created accidentally or there’s a mistake. Meaning I need to re-run the steps in the Automation but they won’t run again on their own.

I thought I could create a script to choose a record (Project) to run that specific Automation that creates the records (Tasks).

Is this possible or would this all have to be generated by a script?

TLDR: Can you run an Automation selectively by a Script > Record Picker

Technically. Your script could turn a checkbox “on” for that record, and set the automation to run when records with checkboxes ticked.

Oh wow, I like that better. Thanks for the simple solution.

Any chance you know if my (more difficult) original question is possible?

[Kamille_Parks]

Nope. The only way to trigger an automation is to make some change to a record, or to create a record.

Thanks for the clarity.
