Vortex IQ switches it per organisation; while it is off, every call made with an API credential's token answers `403`. Needs the `automations:read` scope. ## OpenAPI ````yaml automations/api/openapi.json GET /v1/automations/access openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Vortex IQ Automations API version: 1.0.0 description: > REST API for Vortex IQ Automations. List the templates your organisation can use, set automations up on your stores, schedule them, run them, and follow every run, from your own tools instead of the Automations screens. The API is served from `https://automations-api.vortexiq.ai`; the login that gives you a token is on `https://app.vortexiq.ai`. Every call acts as the person who logged in, within their organisation, and every answer is JSON.
