}Add a trigger to an automation
Provide exactly one schedule: a frequency cron expression for recurring runs, every_seconds for a fixed interval, or a scheduled_at timestamp for a one-time run. More than one returns 400 schedule_conflict. every_seconds must be a positive integer (400 invalid_every_seconds); values from 1 to 59 are raised to the 60-second minimum, returned as every_seconds: 60 with a schedule_interval_raised entry in warnings. Only the automation’s creator can change it; workspace owners and admins can pause or delete it. Anyone else receives 403 automation_owner_only. An automation filed under a Reason has that Reason’s access: everyone who can use the Reason changes it, workspace owners and admins can pause or delete it (anyone else with sight of it receives 403 loop_reason_access_required), and to anyone else it does not exist (404 automation_not_found). A system automation (include=system) is changed only by workspace owners and admins (403 workspace_agent_admin_only); any member may add a trigger to it, which runs as that member, and remove their own triggers.

}Authorizations
Your Reason API key from Settings › API keys. New keys use reason_; legacy ara_ keys remain accepted. Keys are capability-scoped: run, mcp:read, mcp:write, secrets:read, secrets:write, sessions:read, sessions:debug, knowledge:read, memory:read, memory:write, skills:read, skills:write, repos:read, repos:write, reviews:read, reviews:write, deployment:read, analytics:read, org:read, org:write, attachments:read, attachments:write, guardrails:read, guardrails:write, network:read, network:write, automations:read, automations:write, agent_auth:read. network:read and network:write are opt-in, excluded from default keys. network:read reads the saved workspace network policy; network:write replaces custom allowed hosts and requires a current organization owner/admin. Legacy project PATCH requests containing network_allowed_hosts also require network:write plus their existing run scope and project management permission; saved project hosts do not affect current session egress. Only owners/admins can mint or manage keys with network:write; keys cannot grant themselves more authority. See /docs/network-policies for replacement semantics and runtime applicability. mcp:write manages MCP server configuration only; it does not authorize remote MCP-tool execution. sessions:read reads sessions, including the assistant, reasoning and tool activity in their events. sessions:debug is privileged: only for organization owners/admins, it expands session events to the full diagnostic projection (diagnostic event kinds, status text and raw event metadata).
Path Parameters
Organization id or slug. Resolve it with GET /v3/self.
The automation id, returned as id by listAutomations and createAutomation.
Body
Adds a schedule trigger to the automation. Provide exactly one of frequency, every_seconds, or scheduled_at; more than one returns 400 schedule_conflict, none returns 400 schedule_required.
Cron expression, e.g. 0 3 * * *, for a recurring trigger.
Seconds between runs, for a recurring trigger on a fixed interval instead of a calendar. The scheduler runs a trigger at most once a minute, so a shorter interval is saved as 60 seconds and the response carries a schedule_interval_raised warning.
The moment a one-time trigger fires; it runs once and does not repeat. Send it instead of frequency or every_seconds.
Whether this trigger can fire. Send false to save it paused; the parent automation must also be enabled for it to run.
Response
Created.
A condition that fires the automation. The webhook secret is never returned.
Trigger id; pass it as triggerId to delete the trigger.
What fires the trigger: a schedule, a GitHub event, an incoming webhook, or Slack channels (a routine on a Reason).
schedule, github_event, webhook, slack Whether this trigger can fire; the automation must be enabled too.
The schedule, for a schedule trigger; null for other kinds.

Kind of run this trigger starts when it overrides the default; null for an ordinary automation run.
