Overview

Automations let ntrp act on its own — daily summaries, inbox monitoring, reminders, or any task you’d otherwise forget to do manually. Each automation has a trigger (when to run), a description (what to do in natural language), and optional notifiers (where to send results).

​
Trigger types

​
Scheduled (time-based)

Run at a specific time, optionally on specific days: 
Every weekday at 09:00 → "Summarize my unread emails and calendar for today"
Every day at 22:00 → "Review what I committed today and update my work log"

​
Interval

Run repeatedly at a fixed interval: 
Every 2h → "Check for new emails from VIP senders and notify me"
Every 30m → "Monitor the deployment pipeline status"

​
Event-driven

Trigger before calendar events: 
15 minutes before any meeting → "Pull up notes about attendees from memory"

​
Creating automations

Use the create_automation tool in chat: 
Create an automation that runs every weekday at 9am
to summarize my unread emails and today's calendar.
Send the result to my Telegram.
Or use the API directly: 
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/automations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NTRP_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Morning briefing",
    "description": "Summarize unread emails and today calendar events",
    "trigger": {"type": "time", "at": "09:00", "days": "weekdays"},
    "notifiers": ["telegram"]
  }'

​
Permissions

By default, automations run with read-only tools. Toggle writable to allow an automation to modify memory, send emails, or create calendar events.

​
Notifiers

Automations can send results to:
  • Telegram — requires TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN and a configured user ID
  • Email — sends via your connected Gmail account
Configure notifiers in settings or via the /automations view.
