Pause an automation at night, reactivate it in the morning

  1. Schedule Trigger — every day at 7:00 pm.
  2. Agentova — Automation → Pause, Automation From List: your automation.
Duplicate the workflow for the morning with Activate at 8:00 am. Running it on an automation that’s already active does nothing and raises no error. To handle several automations at once: Agentova → List with a filter (for example Type = Social Messages), then Agentova → Pause with the Automation field in ID mode and the expression {{ $json.id }}.
Nothing that arrives during the night is caught up in the morning. For an email automation, Agentova stops listening to the mailbox while it’s paused: the emails received during the night never get a reply from your agent, even after the morning reactivation. Pause an email automation at night only if your team answers those emails itself.

Get alerted when an automation stops working

  1. Agentova Trigger — Events: Automation Status Changed.
  2. If — {{ $json.data.status }} is equal to error.
  3. Slack / Email / Telegram — “{{ $json.data.name }} stopped on an error — check its connection in Agentova.”
This catches the failures: revoked access to an account, a mailbox that refuses the sign-in, a channel that can’t be reconnected. When a failure takes an automation away, this last error is the only signal: when it arrives, the automation has already left List (and Get answers “Automation not found”), until its account is reconnected. Deleting an automation or turning it off in the Agentova app sends nothing.

Get alerted when a reply fails

  1. Agentova Trigger — Events: Run Completed.
  2. If — {{ $json.data.status }} is equal to failed.
  3. Your alert node, with {{ $json.data.automation_id }}, {{ $json.data.trigger_type }} and {{ $json.data.occurred_at }}.

Send new leads to a spreadsheet or a CRM

  1. Agentova Trigger — Events: Lead Created.
  2. Remove Duplicates — operation Remove Items Processed in Previous Executions, value to dedupe on {{ $json.id }}, so a lead redelivered after a network problem isn’t added twice.
  3. (optional) If — {{ $json.data.source }} is equal to lead_ads.
  4. Google Sheets → Append Row (or HubSpot, Pipedrive…) — map name, email, phone, source, created_at from {{ $json.data }}.

Let an AI agent manage your automations

  1. Chat Trigger (or Telegram, Slack…).
  2. AI Agent, with the Agentova node connected as a tool.
  3. A system message such as: “You can list Agentova automations and pause or activate them. Always confirm the automation’s name before changing it.”
Then ask “Pause the email replies” — the agent looks the automation up and pauses it. The agent acts only when you ask: to reactivate at a set time, add a Schedule Trigger workflow with Agentova → Activate (see the first example).
