List automation rows
Platform module
GET/automationsautomations.list
An automation (Section 7.3, ADR 0047): when a domain event of the trigger type happens in the org and the conditions hold, the actions run in order as the owner through public API operations, so row level security and capabilities decide every write. The owner is whoever last changed what it does or turned it on. Needs the automations plan feature (Pro and above) to create, change or turn on (plan_feature_required: 422); without it an automation can still be turned off and deleted. Saving validates the documents as automation.schema.json does (automation_conditions_invalid, automation_actions_invalid: 422) and checks the actions fit the trigger (automation_action_needs_record, automation_action_needs_commentable_subject, automation_person_not_member, automation_webhook_unknown: 422). Returns a cursor page of automation rows the caller may see. The default order is `name` ascending. Supports sparse fieldsets and the filter grammar.
- Requires the capability org.automations.write.
- OAuth scopes: org.
- Cursor-paginated: limit, cursor, fields, sort and filter apply.
- Error statuses: 400, 401, 429. Errors are RFC 9457 problem details.

| created_by | string (uuid) | null | Yes | Identifier of the person who created the row. |
| updated_at | string (date-time) | Yes | When the row was last updated. |
| updated_by | string (uuid) | null | Yes | Identifier of the person who last updated the row. |

| description | string | null | Yes | What the automation is for.Constraints: length 1 to 500 |
| trigger_event_type | string | Yes | Domain event type that starts a run, from the catalog webhooks use (webhookEventTypes.list).Constraints: pattern ^[a-z][a-z_]*\.[a-z][a-z_]*$ |
| condition_match | "all" | "any" | Yes | How the top-level conditions combine; set from the conditions document. |
