# Automations

> Run scripts, schedules, alerts, artifact schedules and budget distributions from one page.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Find it in** the left menu, Automations. **Last updated** 9 Oct 2026.

## Overview

Automations is where Epsilo does the repeat work for you: pause what stopped converting, change budget at set hours, warn you when a number crosses a line, and send reports on a cadence. Every automation watches a scope you pick, and every run lands in the log with what changed and why.

Available on paid plans. See [pricing](https://epsilo.ai/pricing).

## How it works

**1. You pick what to make**

Select **New script**, or open the menu next to it for **New alert**, **New schedule**, **New artifact schedule** or **New distribution**. You can also start from a template.

**2. You set the scope and the rule**

Choose the ad units in **Apply rule to**, then add a **Condition**, a **Schedule** and an **Action**.

**3. You publish**

A new automation is a draft until you select **Publish**. After that, edits are saved with **Apply changes**.

**4. Epsilo runs it and logs it**

Each run is recorded in the **Log** tab as **Succeeded**, **Skipped** or **Failed**.

## The tabs

| Tab | What it shows |
| - | - |
| **All** | Every automation in the workspace. |
| **Scripts** | Automations that act when a condition is true. See [Scripts](https://epsilo.ai/docs/automation/scripts.md). |
| **Schedules** | Automations that act at a set time. See [Schedules](https://epsilo.ai/docs/automation/schedules.md). |
| **Alerts** | Automations that message you when a condition is true. See [Alerts](https://epsilo.ai/docs/automation/alerts.md). |
| **Artifact schedules** | Artifacts sent to a channel on a cadence. See [Schedule a report](https://epsilo.ai/docs/artifacts/schedule-a-report.md). |
| **Distributions** | Budget split across campaigns, ad objects or ad placements. See [Budget distribution](https://epsilo.ai/docs/automation/budget-distribution.md). |
| **Log** | What every automation did, run by run. |

**All**, **Schedules** and **Artifact schedules** also have a calendar view, so you can see what lands on which day.

## Use it

### Start from a template

Open the menu next to the tab name and select **Browse templates**. Templates are grouped by goal and by level. See [Recipes](https://epsilo.ai/docs/automation/recipes.md).

### Pause or resume an automation

Hover a row and select **Pause** or **Resume**. To change many at once, select the rows and use **Pause** or **Resume** in the selection bar.

### Find an automation

Use **Search automations**, or filter by **Status**, **Type**, **Created by** and **Ad attribute**. Status reads **Active**, **Paused**, **Draft** or **Completed**.

### Check what ran

Open the **Log** tab. Each row shows **When**, **Outcome**, **Automation**, **Ad unit**, **Change**, **Why** and **Ad account**. Switch the range between **Today**, **7 days** and **30 days**. Open a row's menu and select **Open automation** to jump to the rule behind it.

### Avoid two scripts fighting

If a new script matches another script on the same ad units, Epsilo shows **Review script conflicts** before you save. Select **Continue** to save anyway or **Cancel** to change it. Execution order between matching scripts is not guaranteed.

### Delete an automation

Open the automation's menu and select **Delete**. This cannot be undone.

## Ask Botep

Copy one of these to start:

```text theme={"system"}
Which of my automations changed budget today, and what did they change?
```

```text theme={"system"}
List automations that failed in the last 7 days and why.
```

```text theme={"system"}
Suggest a script that pauses ad objects with high spend and no orders today.
```

## FAQ

> [accordion] Who can see automations I create?
>
> Automations belong to the workspace. Use the **Created by** filter to see only yours.

> [accordion] Can I edit automations on my phone?
>
> Yes, in the iOS app you can view, edit, activate and end automations. Custom formula conditions stay web only.
