Automation Control Room
When to use this screen
Operate scheduled automations and pipelines (overview, runs, locks, manual run, retry, catalog sync). This can move real money/accounts. Treat like production deploy.
Who can open it / who to ping
- Open: Automation control view or manual run or config manage (any one shows the item).
- Ping engineering + ops lead before manual run, retry, lock release, or catalog sync.
Find the record
Open Admin → Reporting & Logs → Automation Control Room. Start at overview, then the automation/pipeline.
Happy path
- Read overview (failed runs, locks).
- Open the run. Do not retry a job whose downstream (broker, email) is still down.
- Manual run only with a ticket id in the reason field if the UI offers one.
- Release a lock only if you confirmed no other worker is writing.
Action catalog
| Action | When to use | Customer impact |
|---|---|---|
| Overview / logs / activity | Situational awareness | Read |
| Manual run / retry / cancel | Recover a job | May provision, email, or payout |
| Release lock | Stuck lock | Allows the next run |
| PATCH schedule / config | Change cadence | Future runs |
| Catalog diff / approve / sync | Deploy automation definitions | Future behavior |
If this fails
- Manual run while locked: wait or release only if abandoned.
- Retry duplicates: check whether the first run actually committed.
- Catalog sync on the wrong environment: stop.
