Agent Canvas ships with a set of pre-built automations for the most common agent workflows. Each one is a ready-to-use starting point — pick the one that fits your use case, connect it to the right backend, and you can have an automation running in minutes.

​
Available Pre-built Automations

AutomationWhat It Does
GitHub PR Review AssistantAutomatically reviews pull requests and posts feedback as a comment
GitHub Repository MonitorWatches a repository for events and triggers agent actions in response
Slack Channel MonitorListens to a Slack channel and triggers an agent when a message matches a pattern
Agent Canvas can work with the OpenHands automation backend so you can run agents on a schedule or in response to external events.

​
What You Can Do

In the Automate view, you can:
  • Browse existing automations
  • Inspect automation configuration and activity
  • Enable or disable automations
  • Work with recommended automation flows

​
How Creation Flows Usually Start

The Automations view is mainly for browsing and managing automations that already exist. In practice, new automation setup often starts in one of two ways:
  • From a conversation, where you ask OpenHands to create an automation for you
  • From a recommended automation flow in the Automations view
Visit the Automations Docs have a more detailed guide on creating automations.

​
Local Stack Behavior

When you start Agent Canvas with the agent-canvas command, the local stack includes the automation backend by default. That makes the built-in local setup a good starting point for:
  • Scheduled maintenance tasks
  • Event-driven coding workflows
  • Testing automation ideas before deploying them elsewhere

​
Backend Availability Matters

The Automations view depends on the active backend.
  • If the active backend has a healthy automation service, Agent Canvas can load and manage automations.
  • If it does not, Agent Canvas shows a backend-not-configured or unavailable state.
Some automation editing flows are currently focused on local backends first, while the broader hosted experience continues to evolve.
