Automations

Coming Q3 2026. Not available in beta.

An automation runs your agent automatically based on a schedule or an event. Instead of calling agents.run() manually, you configure the automation once and it executes without you.

Example: every day at 9am UTC, run the Wallet Guardian agent with the task: Check all agent wallets and alert me if any are below $20.

Schedule-based automation

const automation = await valta.automations.create({
  agentId: agent.id,
  name: 'Daily Wallet Check',
  task: 'Check all agent wallets and alert if any balance is below $20.',
  schedule: {
    type: 'daily',
    time: '09:00',
    timezone: 'UTC',
  },
})

Event-triggered automation

const eventAuto = await valta.automations.create({
  agentId: agent.id,
  name: 'Low Balance Alert',
  task: 'My wallet is low. Analyse recent spending and recommend where to cut costs.',
  trigger: {
    type: 'wallet_balance_below',
    threshold: 10,
  },
})

Schedule types

Every automation trigger and every run it initiates gets a full audit trail entry. You can see exactly when the automation fired, which task was passed to the agent, and what the agent did.
