Triggers the specified automation immediately, regardless of its configured trigger type. The execution runs asynchronously and returns an execution ID you can use to track the run.

The automation must be enabled (isEnabled: true) to trigger it. Triggering a disabled automation returns a 400 error. You must have at least Member permissions in the space that owns the automation.

This endpoint is suited for automations with triggerType of MANUAL or WEBHOOK. Automations with scheduled or event-based trigger types can also be triggered this way for testing purposes.
