}Resume automation
Start a paused automation’s schedule again, or switch on a draft that starts when its store sends an event,
which has no schedule to give it. Its failure count and the reason it was paused are cleared. Answers 409 wrong_state when it is not paused, and 422 when a step of an imported workflow still needs a connection or
cannot run, with the steps named in errors.steps.
Needs the automations:write scope.
