Automations
Automations turn a saved task definition into a repeatable background job. Open Automations from the Tellnova sidebar to create and monitor them.
An automation combines:
- a trigger: manual, scheduled, or webhook;
- a repository and prompt;
- a provider and model;
- an execution target;
- overlap, timeout, and delivery policies.
Scheduling
Section titled “Scheduling”Schedules are timezone-aware. Choose a cadence and verify the timezone before enabling the automation. Tellnova records each scheduled occurrence so polling or restarting does not intentionally dispatch the same occurrence twice.
Webhooks
Section titled “Webhooks”Webhook payloads can provide context to the prompt, but they cannot change the automation’s repository, target, model, budget, or delivery policy. Keep webhook secrets private and rotate them if exposed.
Safe delivery
Section titled “Safe delivery”For code-changing automations, prefer pull-request delivery. The automation can prepare and push a change for review without merging its own pull request.
