Automation data type

A GovTribe AI automation that runs one saved prompt when any configured schedule, government-record change, or workspace event occurs.

Notes

Automation records describe saved GovTribe AI workflow definitions. One or more independent start nodes can run the same prompt, and each run can create a generated GovTribe AI conversation in the linked project.
reasoning_level is the stable, model-independent reasoning setting for automation runs. Existing automations keep their saved value, omitted create requests use medium, and an omitted update keeps the saved value. Automated turns currently run on GPT-5.6 Terra.
start_nodes is the ordered multi-trigger contract. total_triggers_count reports the complete trigger count, while trigger_details remains a first-trigger compatibility snapshot.
A saved-search start node owns its lowercase instant, daily, or weekly polling frequency. Its nullable next_run_at is populated only while the workflow version is published; inactive versions keep their frequency without retaining a polling schedule. Both fields are independent of the saved search's email settings.
broken_details and paused_at can appear in automation MCP responses when the active version is broken or paused. They are status metadata, not fields you request through fields_to_return.
Pipeline-change automations can be scoped to one pipeline or left unscoped so they run when any accessible pipeline changes.
