## Automations Dashboard
The table lists all live automations with key details:
- **CREW**: Automation name
- **STATUS**: Online / Failed / In Progress
- **URL**: Endpoint for kickoff/status
- **TOKEN**: Automation token
- **ACTIONS**: Re‑deploy, delete, and more
Use the top‑right controls to filter and search:
- Search by name
- Filter by <b>Status</b>
- Filter by <b>Source</b> (GitHub / Studio / ZIP)
Once deployed, you can view the automation details and have the **Options** dropdown menu to `chat with this crew`, `Export React Component` and `Export as MCP`.

## Best Practices
- Prefer GitHub deployments for version control and CI/CD
- Use re‑deploy to roll forward after code or config updates or set it to auto-deploy on every push
