Update an automation node

PATCH/api/v2/workspaces/{slug}/projects/{project_id}/automations/{automation_id}/nodes/{pk}/

Project automations are rule graphs that run inside one project. Update an automation node. Send only the keys you want to change — omitted keys keep their current value, and an explicit null clears a nullable field.

Path Parameters

slug:requiredstring

The workspace slug. It appears in your Plane URLs — in https://app.plane.so/my-team/projects/, the slug is my-team.

project_id:requiredstring

The project the resource belongs to. Accepts the project UUID or its bare identifier, for example ENG.

automation_id:requiredstring (uuid)

The automation the resource belongs to.

pk:requiredstring (uuid)

The automation node id.

Body Parameters

config:optionalstring

Node-specific configuration and parameters

handler_name:optionalstring

Name of the handler class (e.g., 'record_created', 'send_email')

Maximum 100 characters.

is_enabled:optionalboolean

Whether the rule is switched on.

name:optionalstring

Display name for the node

Maximum 255 characters.

node_type:optionalstring

Type of node: trigger, action, or condition

• trigger - Trigger
• action - Action
• condition - Condition

One of trigger, action, condition.

Response shaping

fields:optionalstring

Comma-separated list of fields to return. Unrequested keys are omitted, not returned as null. id always comes back. Pass all for every requestable field. An unknown name is a 400. See Sparse fields.

Requestable here: config, created_at, created_by_id, handler_name, id, is_enabled, last_triggered_at, name, next_scheduled_at, node_type, updated_at, version_id.
