Automation settings, team, audit log and AI pages
Automation's own settings — your name, the workspace's name in Automation — the Team page and its roles, API keys for running flows from your systems, the audit log, the AI pages and the plan bar.
Most of what governs Automation is set in the Hub — people, roles, plan and billing. Automation itself has a few pages.
Settings
- Profile — your First Name and Last Name as Automation shows them; the Email comes from your Monfri account. Save Changes.
- Project Settings — the workspace's name inside Automation (Project Name) and its Project ID. Renaming here does not rename the workspace in the Hub.
- Danger Zone — This workspace is managed by your Monfri account and can't be deleted here. Deleting the workspace is done in the Hub: Cancel, export or delete.
Team
Team lists who can open Automation in this workspace and their role. People and roles come from your Monfri workspace — to add someone or change what they can do, follow Members in Monfri: Service access.
| Role | In Automation |
|---|---|
| Owner, Admin | Everything in Automation. |
| Editor | Creates, changes, publishes and runs flows, and manages connections. |
| Viewer | Sees flows and runs, with customers' personal data hidden. Cannot change or run anything. |
API Keys
An API key lets your own systems run flows and read their runs — a form on your site, a back-office script. Owners and admins make them.
- API Keys → Create API Key.
- A Name, the Scopes — Read (list flows, read a flow and its runs) and Execute (run a flow) — and, if you like, an Expiration (optional).
- Create Key. The key is shown once: Copy your API key now. You won't be able to see it again!
A key acts as the person who made it, in this workspace only: if their role drops to Viewer, it can no longer run flows; if they lose access, it stops working. Rotate key gives a new one and stops the old at once; Revoke key ends it.
Calls go to https://auto.monfri.net/api/v1, with the header Authorization: Bearer <your key>:
| Call | Scope | Does |
|---|---|---|
GET /projects/{projectId}/flows |
Read | the flows — the Project ID is on Settings |
GET /flows/{flowId} |
Read | one flow |
GET /flows/{flowId}/runs and GET /flows/{flowId}/runs/{runId} |
Read | its runs |
POST /flows/{flowId}/run with {"input": {…}} |
Execute | runs it now; the steps read the values as {{trigger.input.…}}; the answer has the run's runId |
Any other call with a key is refused. A run started this way counts like any other: Usage and limits.
Audit Logs
Audit Logs records every change in Automation — who, what and when: flows created, changed, published, switched on and off, deleted; connections; members and roles; settings; and the AI's work (Agent Started, Agent Completed, Approval Requested and the rest).
Filter by Action and Resource Type; Clear filters shows everything. View details on a line shows what exactly changed and from which IP Address.
AI Usage, AI Runs, Knowledge Base
The AI the workspace's flows used, the requests of Monfri's AI chat, and the documentation the AI builder may read: AI in Automation.
The plan bar
A bar at the top of every page says when the plan affects Automation:
- Over the plan limit: … Nothing is blocked. — amber, for owners and admins, with See plans: Usage and limits.
- Your Monfri trial has ended, Payment is overdue or Your Monfri plan has ended — automations and sending are paused until a plan is active. — red: nothing runs, nothing sends, and you can keep editing. Manage plan goes to billing: Plans, the trial and read-only.
- This workspace is suspended. Contact [email protected].
If something doesn't work
I changed my name, but the Hub shows the old one
Automation keeps its own copy. Change your name in the Hub for the rest of Monfri: Your profile.
Someone is missing from Team
They have no access to Automation in the Hub, or have not opened Automation yet — a person appears after their first visit.
API keys can list flows, read a flow and its runs, and run a flow — nothing else
The call is not one of the five a key may make. Use the calls in the table above.
Invalid or expired API key
The key is wrong, revoked or past its Expiration. Create a new one.
The person who made this API key is no longer here — create a new key
Its maker lost access to the workspace. Someone who has access creates a new key.
