# Run automation

> Run an automation now for the users who already match it. Inputs, cURL, Python and Node.js examples and an example response.

Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/workramp/run_automation

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Run an automation now for the users who already match it.

WorkRamp API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/workramp.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/workramp/automations/{automation_id}/run`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Does what Run Now in the action menu does. It can enroll many users at once, so check the filters in list_automations first. An automation with New Matches only covers users who qualify after it was activated; Run Now includes past matches. A run that is already going is blocked. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `automation_id` | string | yes | Automation ID from list_automations. |

```bash
curl -X POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/workramp/automations/automation_8c41d2/run \

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
