Automation workspace
Choose the signal that starts an automation, then build the script that reacts to it.
AlphaConfigure the signal and sequence
The left list selects an automation. The editor then combines its trigger settings, execution policy and sequence of steps in one workspace.
| Callout | Element | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Automation toolbar | Name renames the automation; Enabled controls whether live signals can start it; Test runs it with the selected test preset; Test Data edits the payload used by a test; Export Script saves the automation as a reusable script file. |
| 2 | Signal type | Opens the signal chooser. A signal is the event that triggers this automation. |
| 3 | Signal-specific settings | Filters or configures the selected signal. The fields change with its source; in the example, Text Match Mode and Text Pattern filter Twitch chat messages. |
| 4 | Concurrency | Cooldown limits start frequency; Per user scopes that limit by a key; Mode decides what happens when another run is active; Key selector chooses the field used for per-key control; Queue max and Overflow limit queued runs. See Concurrency modes. |
| 5 | Execution policy | Step timeout sets a default per-step limit, Automation timeout limits the full run, and On step error decides whether the sequence stops or continues. See Error policies. |
| 6 | Sequence / Graph | Switches between editing the script as an ordered sequence and inspecting it as a graph. |
| 7 | Step list | Shows step order, nesting and status. Select a row to edit it; row actions provide the available enable, pin/compare, duplicate and delete operations. |
| 8 | Step details | Shows action-specific fields plus common settings such as Enabled, Timeout, Condition and On Error for the selected step. |
| 9 | Side panels | Opens Variables, Runtime, Insert Field or Encyclopedia. See Side panels. |
| 10 | Logs and status | Use the Log panel to trace execution and the status bar to check connections, saves and live state. |
Choose a signal
Select the current signal type to open the searchable chooser. Categories and colors identify the source, while the keyboard hint at the bottom shows how to work without leaving the chooser.
| Callout | Element | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Signal type selector | Opens the chooser for the selected automation. |
| 2 | Search | Filters signals by their displayed name or source. |
| 3 | Integration categories | Limits the results to Core or one installed integration. |
| 4 | Matching signals | Lists signals that match the current search and category. |
| 5 | Selected signal | Shows which signal will be assigned when you confirm. |
| 6 | Result count and scroll | Shows the number of matches and lets you move through long result lists. |
| 7 | Keyboard controls | Documents the keys for selection, category navigation and result navigation. |
Add and edit steps
Select + Add to open the action chooser. The same chooser can insert before or after the current step, or inside a compatible container. See Sequence editor for row operations and nesting rules.
| Callout | Element | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Add Step | Opens the action chooser. |
| 2 | Search | Filters actions by their displayed name. |
| 3 | Match count | Shows the current result position and total matches. |
| 4 | Step categories | Limits results to Core or an installed integration. |
| 5 | Matching steps | Lists the actions that match the current query and category. |
| 6 | Selected step | Highlights the action that Enter or Add will insert. |
| 7 | Insertion point | States where the new action will be placed relative to the selected step. |
| 8 | Keyboard controls | Documents Add, Add To and category/result navigation shortcuts. |
Inspect Graph View
Graph View is primarily an analysis surface in Public Alpha. Use Sequence view for normal authoring, then use a captured run and its overlay to understand branches, loops and values. See Graph analysis for the runtime workflow.
| Callout | Element | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sequence / Graph tabs | Switch between the authoring view and graph analysis. |
| 2 | Zoom controls | Zoom with the buttons, slider, percentage preset or Ctrl+mouse wheel. |
| 3 | Fit and Center | Fit the complete graph into view or center the current selection. |
| 4 | Node search | Find nodes in a large graph. |
| 5 | Overlay and run | Choose a captured run, apply its runtime overlay, or clear the overlay. |
| 6 | Analysis tools | Compare runs with Diff or compact the layout. The AI Assist control shown in an older screenshot is unavailable in 0.1.3.0. |
| 7 | Graph canvas | Visualizes steps, containers, branches, loops and their execution relationships. |
| 8 | Selected node | Highlights the node whose details are currently shown. |
| 9 | Node Details | Shows the selected node path, role, parameters, services and capabilities. |
| 10 | Edit Actions | Returns to the editable action settings for the selected node. |
