What automations do
Automations are scheduled or on-demand jobs that run on Google Cloud Run. They handle the repetitive parts of outreach — distributing briefs, updating statuses, syncing data with external tools — so your team focuses on the work that requires judgment.
Each automation is pre-configured for a specific task. You launch it with a set of parameters, monitor its run, and review outputs.
Launching an automation
- Open Outreach → Automations
- Find the automation you want to run in the list
- Select Launch — a confirmation dialog shows the job parameters before anything runs
- Confirm to queue the job on Cloud Run
- Watch real-time status updates in the execution panel
Automations that send external requests (emails, API calls) cannot be undone once confirmed. Review parameters carefully before launching.
Execution monitoring
Once launched, the automation panel shows:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|
| Queued | Job accepted by Cloud Run, waiting for a worker |
| Running | Job is actively executing |
| Completed | Job finished successfully |
| Failed | Job encountered an error — logs are available |
| Cancelled | Job was stopped before completion |
Keyboard shortcuts
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|
L | Open the launch dialog for the selected automation |
Esc | Cancel / close the confirmation dialog |
Enter | Confirm launch (when focus is on the confirm button) |
Available automations
The list of available automations depends on your plan and the integrations enabled for your account. Common automation types include:
- Brief distribution — Push approved briefs to a connected outreach platform or spreadsheet
- Status sync — Pull response status back from an external tool and update brief records in Beeze.io
- Domain refresh — Re-score a domain list against updated authority and trust data
- Report generation — Compile a campaign summary and deliver it to a configured destination
Contact your account admin to request a new automation or modify an existing one’s parameters.
