# What it does

An automation workflow is a rule you preset for an AI Table — and it runs automatically. Set a **trigger** and an **action** and AI Table fires the next steps when data changes.

# How to use

### Create a workflow

1. **Start blank**: click **Automation** at the top-right of the AI Table → **Start blank**.

2. **From a template**: click **Automation** at the top-right → pick a template.

   (Good for new users — templates ship with preset triggers and actions; you can edit on top.)

### Configure the workflow

1. Configure the trigger and the action.

2. **All nodes must be configured for the workflow to run.**

   When the **red warning indicator** in the top-right turns gray, the configuration is complete.

# Manage automations

In an AI Table you can create, modify, and look up workflows.

1. **Global management**

   Click **Automation** — the left sidebar lists all workflows configured for this AI Table.

2. **Execution log**

   On the workflow editor, click **Execution log** in the top-right — see total runs, successes, and failures.

3. **Enable / disable a workflow**

   In the workflow list, the toggle switches state — on = running, off = disabled.

4. **Edit / Copy / Delete a workflow**

   Pick a workflow → click **More** → edit / copy / delete.

5. **Troubleshoot errors**

Click into an execution record's detail to one-click copy the error and dig into the cause.

# Run-count metering

Automation runs on the DingTalk Connector Platform — every workflow node consumes connection-flow node executions.

### What is a node-execution count?

**Connection-flow node executions** (or "node executions") is the **commercial billing metric** of the DingTalk Connector Platform.

It tallies node runs across AI Table, bots, OA approvals, and the connector platform for the current org. Users with developer access can [view details](https://open-dev.dingtalk.io/fe/connector#/overView "view details") on the DingTalk Connector Platform.

### How to view this month's count

Go to **Workflow management** to see the org's accumulated runs for the month.

### Counting rules

#### Counted

* Successful action node — 1.
* **Delay** node call — 1.
* **HTTP request** node call — 1.
* **Branch** node — 1 per evaluation.
* A **Loop** node counts as 1 per workflow run, regardless of how many iterations. Set **Max iterations** carefully.
* When an action returns nothing, it still counts as a successful run (e.g. directory queries with no matches still count as 1).

#### Not counted

* Trigger event execution.
* Skipped nodes; failed nodes.
* Debug runs.
