Re: Can't run automation on button click
Hello!
I'm trying to add a button to an interface and call an automation on click, according to this guide it should be possible, however when I try to follow the steps I face this problem:
Supposedly the button should have the action option "Run automation" as shown in this picture:
However when I add a button to my interface that option is not present, as seen in this picture:
Any help with this issue would be appreciated!

Ah I see, yeah, you're on a List Interface and clicking on the "Add button action" button?
To have the "Run automation" action you'll need to add it via "Add elements", which you can't do via a List interface
Try creating a blank interface and adding the button and you should see the run automatio action. Then try adding a List element in there to see whether that works for you?
Hmm, long shot, but do you think it could be a permissions issue? I notice you don't have any of the options for data editing:
Could you provide a screenshot of the entire Interface as well? Seems weird that you're missing so many options actually
Hey, thanks for your answer!
I don't think that's the reason as I have the same problem in a workspace that I'm the owner of.
Here is a picture of the full interface:
It's weird how you have so many more option on the button

Hi!
Could you please clarify? I have the exact same problem except that I did add the button independently through the 'add elements' path. I don't have any options. Do I have to add the button as an element to a blank interface before I add anything else, i.e. I cannot use an interface template if I want a button to work and run an automation? I would have to choose the blank canvas in the layout? The only problem is I am pretty sure I did choose the blank canvas when I chose the layout and the button still doesn't work. Thanks in advance!
