You can manage your automations by asking OpenHands directly—just like you created them.
Viewing Your Automations
Enabling and Disabling
Pause an automation without deleting it:
Turn it back on:
Disabling an automation keeps all its settings intact. Use this when you want to temporarily stop runs without losing your configuration.
Changing the Schedule
Changing the Run Timeout
Timeouts can be up to 30 minutes. Runs that exceed their timeout fail automatically.
Running Manually
Test an automation or run it outside its normal schedule:
This is useful for:
- Testing a newly created automation
- Running a report on-demand
- Debugging issues
Viewing Past Runs
Each run creates a conversation that automatically appears in your conversations list. You can:
- View in the OpenHands UI to see what happened
- Continue if you want to interact with the sandbox
- Debug if something went wrong
Automations are user-scoped, so all your automation runs appear alongside your regular conversations. Look for them in your conversations list after each scheduled run.
Run Statuses
- Pending: Scheduled, waiting to start
- Running: Currently executing
- Completed: Finished successfully
- Failed: Something went wrong—check the run details
Deleting Automations
Deleting an automation is permanent. Consider disabling it instead if you might need it later.
