Run automation

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

MCP tool workramp_write → run_automation

write Confirm

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.
