  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. See [Authentication](/automations/api/authentication).
