When I create an automation (either via Python API or UI) it doesn't show up afterwards in the Automations tab. I'm running Prefect server 3.0.4. Does anyone have a clue why this is happening? I do see the automations when I run

prefect automations ls

Hi Nils, thanks for sharing. I haven't been able to recreate this with 3.0.4. I'm able to see the automation I created in the UI. 🤔

Copy code

Just to confirm, is the

PREFECT_API_URL

set to communicate with your server? If you're hosting it locally, it should be

PREFECT_API_URL='<http://127.0.0.1:4200/api>'

Running

prefect profile inspect

should help you confirm that

Hi Bianca, thanks for your reply! The

PREFECT_API_URL

is set correctly. I'm also able to deploy flows to the (self-hosted) server so I don't think that's the problem. When I go to the Automations and check the network traffic I see that the

api/automations/filter

endpoint retrieves the created automations. They just don't show up in UI 😐

hmmm..is there a way you could screen cap what you're seeing?

Sure! Here is what the Automations tab looks like, with the network request on the right.

Also, creating a Block or Variable works fine. It's just the Automations that don't seem to work/show up

When loading the Automations page, the console shows this error

All automation disappear in the UI when I add an automation with the following actions:

Copy code

actions=[
            prefect.events.actions.CallWebhook(
                block_document_id="XXXXX"
            )
        ]

How would I need to add a

CallWebhook

action when creating an automation via the Python SDK?
