Build automations programmatically with the API

const baseUrl = "https://app.teable.ai/api";
const token = process.env.TEABLE_TOKEN;
const baseId = "bserxxxxxx";

const headers = {
  Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
};

async function api(method, path, body) {
  const res = await fetch(`${baseUrl}${path}`, {
    method,
    headers,
    body: body ? JSON.stringify(body) : undefined,
  });
  if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${method} ${path} → ${res.status}`);
  return res.json();
}

// 1. Create a workflow
const wf = await api("POST", `/base/${baseId}/workflow`, {
  name: "Notify on shipment",
  description: "Send webhook when order status becomes Shipped",
});

// 2. Add a trigger
const trigger = await api("POST", `/base/${baseId}/workflow/${wf.id}/trigger`, {
  type: "recordUpdated",
  config: { tableId: "tblOrders", watchFieldIds: ["fldStatus"] },
});

// 3. Test the trigger
await api("POST", `/base/${baseId}/workflow/${wf.id}/test/${trigger.id}`);

// 4. Add an HTTP Request action
const action = await api("POST", `/base/${baseId}/workflow/${wf.id}/action`, {
  type: "httpRequest",
  parentNodeId: trigger.id,
});

// 5. Enable
await api("PUT", `/base/${baseId}/workflow/${wf.id}/active`, {
  method: "activate",
});
