Automations created by Desktop run on the owner's connected desktop; Automations created by Web run in OpenWork Cloud. If no desktop runner is connected when a desktop occurrence is due, that occurrence is recorded as missed. Creation makes an Automation active immediately and uses the owner's current OpenWork Connect integrations. Deactivation stops future runs but does not cancel a run already in progress. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json post /v1/automations/{id}/run openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Den API description: >- OpenAPI spec for the Den control plane API. Authentication: - Use `Authorization: Bearer ` for user-authenticated routes that require a Den session. - Use `x-api-key: ` for API-key-authenticated routes that accept organization API keys. - Public routes like health and documentation do not require authentication. Swagger tip: use the security schemes in the Authorize dialog to set either `bearerAuth` or `denApiKey` before trying protected endpoints. version: dev servers: - url: http://api.den.local security: [] tags: - name: System description: Service health and operational routes. - name: Organizations description: Top-level organization creation and context routes. - name: Invitations description: Invitation preview, acceptance, creation, and cancellation routes. - name: API Keys description: Organization API key management routes. - name: SCIM description: Organization SCIM connector management routes. - name: SSO description: Organization single sign-on connector management routes. - name: Members description: Organization member management routes. - name: Roles description: Organization custom role management routes. - name: Teams description: Organization team management routes. - name: Templates description: Organization shared template routes. - name: LLM Providers description: Organization LLM provider catalog, configuration, and access routes. - name: Workers description: Worker lifecycle, billing, and runtime routes. - name: Worker Runtime description: Worker runtime inspection and upgrade routes. - name: Worker Activity description: Worker heartbeat and activity reporting routes. - name: Telemetry description: Telemetry event ingestion and adoption analytics. - name: Admin description: Administrative reporting routes. - name: Users description: Current user and membership routes. - name: Bootstrap description: Agent-first provisional workspace setup routes. paths: /v1/automations/{id}/run: post: tags: - Automations summary: Run an Automation now description: >- Den schedules Automations and keeps durable run history.
