# Automations

> Manage, deploy, and monitor your live crews (automations) in one place.

## Overview

Automations is the live operations hub for your deployed crews. Use it to deploy from GitHub or a ZIP file, manage environment variables, re‑deploy when needed, and monitor the status of each automation.

## Automations Dashboard

The table lists all live automations with key details:

* **CREW**: Automation name
* **STATUS**: Online / Failed / In Progress
* **URL**: Endpoint for kickoff/status
* **TOKEN**: Automation token
* **ACTIONS**: Re‑deploy, delete, and more

Use the top‑right controls to filter and search:

* Search by name
* Filter by <b>Status</b>
* Filter by <b>Source</b> (GitHub / Studio / ZIP)

Once deployed, you can view the automation details and have the **Options** dropdown menu to `chat with this crew`, `Export React Component` and `Export as MCP`.

## Best Practices

* Prefer GitHub deployments for version control and CI/CD
* Use re‑deploy to roll forward after code or config updates or set it to auto-deploy on every push
