# Automations
URL: /en-US/docs/customize/automations

Time triggers plus GitHub events after you connect Integrations.



<Callout type="info">
  Desktop only.
</Callout>

Automations run an agent job without you sitting in the composer.

## Triggers [#triggers]

* **Time** — hourly, daily, or weekly
* **GitHub** — `pull_request_created` or `issue_created` on a repo you name (`owner` + `repo`)

GitHub triggers need [Integrations](./integrations.mdx) connected first. If GitHub is not connected, the trigger menu will not offer those events.

Data lives under `{spiritDataDir}/automations/`. Open the Automations view on Desktop to see history and settings.

The CLI cannot create or run this UI. Use [Desktop](../desktop.mdx).
