# Run Automation Now

`POST /api/v1/automations/{automation_id}/run`

## Path parameters

- `automation_id` string, uuid, required

## Request body

- AutomationRunRequest — Optional body for ``POST /automations/{id}/run`` ("Run now"). ``input`` carries the values for a ``trigger.app_invocation`` input schema (the same shape the app-button endpoint accepts). Defaults to empty so schedule- and event-triggered automations can still be fired with no body.
  - `input` object

## Response `202`

Successful Response

- RunNowResponse
  - `run_id` string, uuid, required

## Other responses

- `422` — Validation Error
