What This Plugin Adds

Automation Studio is an Available, Schema-owning Capell package in the Capell Automation product group. It ships as capell-app/automation-studio and extends these surfaces: admin, console.

Automation Studio stores rule-based workflows that match Capell package events to registered native actions, Public Actions, or agent capabilities.

Operators create and pause rules, dry-run them before use, and inspect or replay recorded automation runs from the admin.

Status details:

• Status: Available
• Tier: premium
• Bundle: automation
• Composer package: capell-app/automation-studio
• Namespace: Capell\AutomationStudio
• Theme key: not applicable

Why It Matters

For developers: Trigger and action registries let packages add workflow boundaries without coupling Automation Studio to their internal classes, and Actions own dispatch, persistence, recovery, and replay.

For teams: Teams can automate repeatable responses to package events and use run history to see whether each rule completed or failed.

Screens And Workflow

Data Model

• Required tables: automation_rules, automation_runs.
• Models: AutomationRule, AutomationRun.
• Core record references in migrations: sites via site_id.
• Migration files: 2026_05_31_170000_01_create_automation_rules_table.php, 2026_05_31_170000_02_create_automation_runs_table.php.
• Migration impact: run host migrations through the package install flow before opening package surfaces.
• Deletion/retention behaviour: migrations declare cascade-on-delete relationships and null-on-delete relationships; no timed pruning or retention schedule is declared in capell.json.

Install Impact

• Required packages: capell-app/admin, capell-app/core.
• Admin navigation: declares admin-resource: AutomationRuleResourceContribution, admin-resource: AutomationRunResourceContribution; each Filament page or resource controls its own navigation visibility.
• Admin/editor extensions: none declared.
• Permissions: View:AutomationRule, Create:AutomationRule, Update:AutomationRule, Delete:AutomationRule, View:AutomationRun, Update:AutomationRun; access also governed by package policies: AbstractAutomationStudioResourcePolicy, AutomationRulePolicy, AutomationRunPolicy.
• Public routes: none declared.
• Database changes: package migrations are declared.
• Config: config/capell-automation-studio.php.
• Settings: no package settings declared.
• Queues or schedules: scheduled commands capell:automation-studio:reap-stale (everyTenMinutes; manifest declared); queue jobs DispatchQueuedAutomationTriggerJob.
• Cache tags: automation-studio.
• Commands: console command classes detected: ReapStaleAutomationRunsCommand, SeedAutomationStudioScreenshotFixtureCommand.

Common Pitfalls

• Keep required Capell packages on compatible v4 releases: capell-app/admin, capell-app/core.
• Run migrations before opening package resources or public routes.
• Review package configuration before production-like verification: config/capell-automation-studio.php.
• Keep the host Laravel scheduler running so package-registered schedules can execute: capell:automation-studio:reap-stale (everyTenMinutes; manifest declared).
• Custom write integrations must preserve invalidation for automation-studio cache tags.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Likely cause	Check	Fix
Package surface is missing after install	Provider or manifest is not loaded	Confirm capell.json, package composer.json, and provider registration	Reinstall the package, refresh Composer autoload, and clear host caches
Admin screen or command fails on missing table	Package migrations have not run	Check the tables listed in Data Model	Run host migrations and rerun the focused package test
Background work does not run	Queue worker or declared schedule is not active	Check the jobs and scheduled commands listed in Technical Shape	Start the queue worker or host scheduler, then run the focused command or package test

Quick Start

1. Install the package: composer require capell-app/automation-studio.
2. Open the package admin surface at /admin/automation-studio/automation-rules and confirm Automation Studio is available.
