Adding a description on automations

Jonmatt12 · February 14, 2025, 4:54pm

Hi all

Is there any plans on adding a field to add a description on automations within the UI?

Some automations can get complex so would be nice to add a description on what’s going on within the automations

Thanks

Automations have a global description that is editable from the gui, accessible through the rename function in the upper right menu. For triggers, conditions and actions most people use the alias, also accessible through the rename in the upper right menu of that item.

You can also use markup in the description section of automations and scripts.

when you add an automation the field pops up…
