Restrictions

Aspect	Value
Rate limits	1,000 requests/minute; 50 requests/second per account
Permissions	Valid `app_key`; management operations require the caller to manage the target rule

Usage

A caller may create personal rules and rules for any team in the current account; team_id is immutable after creation.
List visibility follows session-list visibility: owners/admins see all rules; ordinary members see rules they created and rules for their teams.
http_post_token is returned only when creating or rotating the token. Save it immediately.

Authorizations

app_key

string

query

required

App key issued from the Flashduty console. Required on every public API call. Keep it secret — it grants the same access as the owning account.

Body

application/json

Create an Automation rule.

name

string

required

Rule name.

Required string length: 1 - 255

cron_expr

string

required

Run cadence. Supports 4 fields (hour day month weekday, minute defaults to 0) and 5 fields (minute hour day month weekday). The minute must be one fixed integer; 6-field seconds are not supported. The create API currently requires this field even for HTTP-POST-only rules; send a valid cron and set schedule_trigger_enabled=false.

Example:

"15 9 * * *"

prompt

string

required

Task prompt sent to the AI SRE agent on each run.

Minimum string length: 1

team_id

integer<int64>

Scope team ID. 0 or omitted means a personal rule; >0 means a team in the account. Immutable after creation.

Required range: x >= 0

enabled

boolean

Whether the rule is enabled after creation. Omitted API value is false; Chat/CLI create sends true by default unless the user asks for disabled.

schedule_trigger_enabled

boolean | null

Whether the schedule trigger is enabled. Defaults to true when omitted; HTTP-POST-only rules should send false.

environment_kind

enum<string>

Runtime environment kind. Omit or send an empty value for automatic selection.

Available options:

cloud,

byoc

environment_id

string

BYOC Runner ID. Used only when environment_kind=byoc.

http_post_trigger_enabled

boolean

Whether to create and enable an HTTP POST trigger. When enabled, the response includes a one-time token.

oncall_incident_trigger_enabled

boolean

Whether to create and enable an on-call incident trigger for this rule.

oncall_incident_channel_ids

integer<int64>[]

On-call channel IDs whose new incidents can trigger this rule.

oncall_incident_severities

enum<string>[]

Incident severities that can trigger this rule.

Available options:

Critical,

Warning,

Info

Response

Success

Standard response envelope used by every Flashduty public API. On success data contains the endpoint-specific payload and error is absent. On failure error is present and data is absent. request_id is always present and is also mirrored in the Flashcat-Request-Id response header.

request_id

string

required

Unique ID for this request. Mirrored in the Flashcat-Request-Id header. Include it when reporting issues.

Example:

"01HK8XQE3Z7JM2NTFQ5YJ8P9R4"

error

object

Error payload inside the response envelope. Present only on non-2xx responses.
