# Running from Automagically

> Run a runbook directly from the Automagically platform: find it, open the form, select the client and ticket, fill in the inputs, and run. Includes testing in staging.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Automagically is currently in a **closed beta**.

Running a runbook directly in Automagically is the manual path. You go to the platform, find the runbook, and run it yourself. This is useful for testing in staging or when you prefer to handle execution outside your normal ticket workflow.

## Running on a client

**1. Find the runbook**

Go to **Runbooks** in the left panel and browse for the runbook that matches the request. You can also search or filter by tags to narrow the list. Only runbooks in the **Active** tab are ready to run.\\

**2. Open the form**

There are two ways to open the run form:

* From the runbook library, click **Run** directly on the runbook card.\

* Or, from the runbook detail page, click the **Run** button at the top right. Use this if you're unfamiliar with the runbook and want to get additional details before running.

**3. Select the client and the associated ticket**

Select the client and the associated thread the request came from. The thread dropdown automatically loads threads assigned to you. If there are none, you can type the thread title or number into the search bar.

**4. Fill in the form**

Fill in the remaining inputs as specified in the ticket. Required fields are marked with a red asterisk. Before submitting, confirm the correct client and ticket have been selected.\\

**5. Run it, verify the result, and close the ticket**

As simple as it sounds: click **Run**. The automation executes against the selected client environment. Once finished, review the result to confirm it matches what was requested. Once confirmed, document the outcome and close the ticket.

## Testing in staging

Before running a runbook against a client, you can test it in your staging tenant to understand how it behaves.

* Click **Test** from the runbook library, or

* Click **Test** from a runbook details page.

Unlike a regular run, no client or ticket selection is needed. The runbook executes against your staging tenant automatically. Fill in the inputs and click **Test in staging**. Staging indicators are shown throughout the form so you can confirm you're not running against a live environment.\

Like a regular run, results are available in the **History** page, tagged with a **Staging** label so they're easy to identify.\
