Invoke automation

automate.invokeAutomation schedules an immediate or delayed programmatic invocation for an active automation with a matching onInvocation entrypoint.

automations/invoke-automation.automation.ts

import { automation } from "automate.ax"
import { automate } from "automate.ax/automate"
import billing from "./billing.automation"

export default automation("Invoke billing", () => {
  automate.invokeAutomation({
    automation: billing,
    payload: { customerId: "cus_123" },
    runIn: "5m",
  })
})

automation accepts an imported automation descriptor, exact ID, or unique deployed description. Set either runAt or runIn, not both. entrypoint defaults to "default". The action returns the durable invocation id and normalized runAt and requires project:update. Retries reuse the active action invocation as the management idempotency identity. This account-backed action does not change the typed same-project invokeAutomation primitive from automate.ax.
