<Steps> <Step title="Choose File"> Select the ZIP archive from your computer. </Step> <Step title="Add Environment Variables"> Provide any required variables or keys. </Step> <Step title="Deploy"> Click <b>Deploy</b> to create your live automation. </Step> </Steps> <Frame> ![ZIP Deployment](/images/enterprise/deploy-from-zip.png) </Frame>

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
