The workspace

Esca Automations adds an automation area to the Brightspot CMS left navigation. The area groups every page you use to build, run, and manage automations, and this page is the map: what each one is for, with a page of its own for the detail.

The pages

The pages appear in the navigation in this order.

Page	What it is for
Dashboard	The landing page for the area. Metric cards and charts summarize recent automation activity and execution health over a period you choose. See Monitoring and history.
Build	Describe the automation you want in plain language and let Esca draft the flow, instead of starting from an empty canvas. See Building automations.
Automations	The list of every automation, where you create, open, rename, enable, disable, run, archive, import, and export them. Opening one launches the flow editor. See Building automations and Monitoring and history.
Executions	Every run of every automation in one place, with each run's steps, logs, and output a click away. See Monitoring and history.
Approvals	A cross-automation inbox of every step currently waiting on a person to answer, so you don't have to know which automation paused to find and respond to it. See Human in the loop.
Templates	The catalog of built-in starter flows, browsed by kind—Examples, Recipes, and Workflows. Use one as the starting point for a new automation, or splice a recipe into an automation you are already building. See Starting from a template.
Agents	The catalog of reusable agents an AI step runs as. An agent supplies the model, the standing instructions, and the tools; the step supplies the task. See AI agents and models.
Connections	The saved, authenticated links to external systems that triggers and actions reuse, including your own AI provider accounts. See Connections.
Variables	The variables and secrets shared across your automations. A secret's value is encrypted and redacted from run logs. See Variables and secrets.
Content Types	The structured content types your automations use—for example, the shape of a trigger's payload or of an AI step's structured output. Each type is defined here once and then picked by name on a node.
Savings Rates	The hourly rates used to turn the manual work an automation saved into a dollar figure. You start from a shared catalog of rates and override only the ones you need.
Settings	The automation settings that apply everywhere, including your default AI model and the outbound HTTP policy for dry runs. See Run modes and AI agents and models.

Where to start

If you have not built an automation yet, Getting started walks you through one end to end using only the Automations page and the flow editor.
