How can I check the current status of an automation?
You can see whether an automation is Running, Paused, or Idle/Stopped from the Automate Dashboard.
For a time-stamped trail of events (started/ended), use the Activity tab.
Explanation
- The Status badge in My automations shows the live state of each strategy.
- The Activity tab lists recent events (e.g., Automation started, Automation ended) with timestamps.
FYERS Web
- Go to Automate → Dashboard → My automations.
- Locate your strategy and read the Status badge in the same row (e.g., Running, Paused, Idle).
- For details, open Automate → Dashboard → Activity and review events such as Automation started or Automation ended under Action type with the exact Action time.
What If?
| Scenario | Outcome / What to check |
|---|
| Status shows Idle/Stopped but I expected it to run | Open Activity to see if it ended (e.g., hit an exit condition or a stop node). Start a new run if needed. |
| I clicked Run now but the status didn’t change | Ensure the automation validated successfully. Refresh the Dashboard and check Activity—the run may have started and ended quickly. |
| I can’t find the strategy in the list | Use search/filter in My automations and verify the Show deleted toggle. Confirm recent events in Activity. |
| Status/Activity seems stale | Refresh the page and reopen Activity. Check your network connection and try again. |
