Create an empty Hive automation
create_flowIdempotent
Create a new Hive automation as a DRAFT, either empty or from a document you already have. It sends nothing: going live is a separate step a person approves in Hive.
Input Schema

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | What to call this automation. | |
| document | No | A whole automation document to start from, instead of an empty one. | |
| accountId | Yes | The connected Hive account it runs on. | |
| description | No | An optional note about what it is for. | |
| triggerEvent | No | What starts it. Hive also adds one empty message step for you to write, because an automation that starts and does nothing cannot be saved as finished. | |
