Summary

Run a manual automation for a person.

Inputs

  • personId (required) — Identifier for the person. Choose By ID, By URL (which extracts the person ID from a Follow Up Boss people view URL), or From list (searchable via getPeople). By ID requires a numeric ID matching [0-9]+ pattern; URL mode extracts a numeric ID via regex https://.*followupboss.com.*people/view/($d+). From list provides a searchable dropdown of people from the Follow Up Boss API using getPeople as the search method. When 'From list' is used, the actual person ID resolves to an empty string placeholder until a selection is made in the UI.
  • automationId (required) — The automation to run. Choose By ID (requires a numeric ID matching [0-9]+ pattern) or From list (searchable via getManualAutomations, providing a dropdown of manual automations). A description field clarifies: 'The automation to run. Choose from the list, or specify an ID.'
  • authentication — Authentication method for the Follow Up Boss API. Defaults to 'apiKey'. Options include 'API Key' (value: apiKey) and 'OAuth2' (value: oAuth2).

Output shape

The operation triggers the specified manual automation for the identified person in Follow Up Boss. Return values follow the standard n8n Follow Up Boss node output pattern for automation execution, but the exact shape is not detailed in the provided properties or source stubs.

No side effects or data returns are declared beyond the automation trigger. The operation consumes the person and automation identifiers; actual API-level behavior is not exposed in the visible source pack (files contain only function signatures like async function execute(i) without implementation bodies).
