# Automations

> Schedule recurring sync jobs for your connected services

Automations let you schedule recurring sync jobs so your connected services stay up to date without manual intervention.

## **Available actions**

| **Action**    | **Description**                      |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `sync:all`    | Sync all connected providers at once |
| `sync:github` | Sync GitHub repositories             |
| `sync:gitlab` | Sync GitLab projects                 |
| `sync:linear` | Sync Linear teams                    |

## **Creating an automation**

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open settings">
    Go to **Settings > Connections** and locate the automation options.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose an action">
    Select which provider to sync or use `sync:all` to sync everything.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the interval">
    Configure how often the automation runs. The minimum interval is one minute.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## **Managing automations**

* **Enable / disable** an automation without deleting it -- the schedule pauses but the configuration is preserved
* **View run history** to see the last 20 executions with timestamps and success/error status
* **Delete** an automation to remove it permanently

Automations persist across app restarts. When Mains launches, all enabled automations resume on their configured schedules automatically.

## **Manual sync**

You can trigger a one-time sync at any time from **Settings > Connections** by clicking the **Sync** button. This fetches the latest data from all connected providers immediately, independent of any automation schedule.
