To run the AI agents autonomously, you must first duplicate the agentic workflow, and then do the following steps:
- Activate the agentic workflow.
- Activate all agents within the agentic workflow.
- Activate the trigger to invoke the agentic workflow automatically. If you prefer to invoke it manually, activating the trigger isn't necessary.
For more information about duplicating an agentic workflow, implementing access control lists and activating the required components, see the following topics:
- Duplicate an agentic workflow
- Activate an agentic workflow template
- Modify an AI agent
- Implement access control in AI agents
There might be AI agents installed on your instance that are not used in agentic workflows. To learn how to see all agents that are available to you, see Find AI agents.
Important: Some generative AI skills, AI agents, and agentic workflows are turned on by default. For more information, see AI agents, skills, and agentic workflows on by default.
