POST

Entries.RunAutomation

Run one active automation for the customers linked to selected entry rows. Matches the dashboard Entry-filter Run Automation button: select entry rows, choose an automation, and the automation runs on each related customer. For a single-customer custom tab, send customer_id with the selected entry row ids (mode=tab) to use the tab-scoped dashboard path.

Permissions

User must be logged in with a valid bearer token.
Returned or changed records are limited by the user permissions, team access, folder access, and account settings.

Action

Validates automation_id belongs to the account and is active.
Resolves selected entry rows to customers, or uses customer_ids directly.
Calls the same dashboard PHP runners used by the UI.

Push Service

Emits realtime automation.run after a successful bulk run.

Automation

Runs the chosen automation_event id through run_automations_by_id for each selected customer/entry row, same as the dashboard.

Special Instructions

Use Entries.AutomationsList (or AutomationEvents.List with automation_status=1) to fill the automation picker.
Preferred App fields: automation_id + ids (entry row ids from Entries.List). The API resolves each row customer_id and runs the automation for those customers.
Dashboard-compatible aliases: selected_cust_id can be comma-separated customer ids (admin Entry-filter JS), and selected_all_cust_id is the single customer id for tab-scoped runs.
Optional entry_id limits selected row lookup to one entry/tab setting.
Maximum 500 selected ids per request.
Existing Entries.Add/Update/Delete still auto-run entries.created/updated/deleted. This route is only for manual bulk Run Automation.
