Aborting automations

Learn how you can abort automations.

Aborting automation is a normal part of building a new automation, e.g. when you made a mistake that you want to correct or because you did not set a break point.

To stop automation:

Click Abort Automation in the top right corner or the automation activity field

In the automation view, on the left side, disable the automation
