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.

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.
