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.

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.

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.

For code-changing automations, prefer pull-request delivery. The automation can prepare and push a change for review without merging its own pull request.
