Agent Canvas ships with a set of pre-built automations for the most common agent workflows. Each one is a ready-to-use starting point — pick the one that fits your use case, connect it to the right backend, and you can have an automation running in minutes.

​
Available Pre-built Automations

Every canvas backend includes an automation service, so you can run agents on a schedule or in response to external events.

​
What You Can Do

In the Automate view, you can:
  • Browse existing automations
  • Inspect automation configuration and activity
  • Enable or disable automations
  • Work with recommended automation flows

​
How Creation Flows Usually Start

The Automations view is mainly for browsing and managing automations that already exist. In practice, new automation setup often starts in one of two ways:
  • From a conversation, where you ask OpenHands to create an automation for you
  • From a recommended automation flow in the Automations view
Visit the Automations Docs have a more detailed guide on creating automations. Automations run against the active backend. Use Manage Backends to see and switch which backend your automations run on.
