Deploying a Finic automation is easy. Simply run finic deploy from your command line in any project that’s a valid Finic project. All you need is a Finic API key, which you can find here.

Once an automation is deployed, you can find it at https://app.finic.io/automations.

​
Running an automation

​
Dashboard

You can run automations manually from the dashboard by clicking on any automation to open it, then clicking the “Run” button.

​
API

You can invoke automations programatically by sending a request to the run-agent endpoint. See the API reference for more information.

​
Options

You can provide the following options both in the dashboard and via API:

  • max_retries: The number of times to retry this automation if it fails. Helps account for non-deterministic issues that cause flakiness, like network issues or temporary downtime.
  • browser_id: A unique identifer for the browser you’d like to use. Useful for preserving cookies and local storage accross sessions to avoid having to authenticate each time.
