 1. If necessary, [create a W&B secret](/platform/secrets/) for each sensitive string required by the automation, such as an access token, password, or SSH key. Secrets are defined in your **Team Settings**. Secrets are most commonly used in webhook automations.

+<Tab title="Python SDK">
+To create an automation using the Python SDK, define the [event and scope](/models/ref/python/automations#events-triggers), the [action](/models/ref/python/automations#actions) to take, and [filters](https://docs.wandb.ai/models/ref/python/automations#filters) (optional). Next, use [`api.create_automation`](/models/ref/python/public-api/api#method-api-create-automation) to create the automation.
+
+This example code creates an automation that sends a Slack notification whenever a metric called `custom-metric` exceeds `10`. `custom-metric` is expected to be logged during training using `wandb.Run.log({"custom-metric": value })`.
+
+```python
+import wandb
+from wandb.automations import OnRunMetric, RunEvent, SendNotification
+
+api = wandb.Api()
+
+project = api.project("<my-project>", entity="<my-team>")
+
+# Use the first Slack integration for the team
+slack_hook = next(api.slack_integrations(entity="<my-team>"))
+
+# Create a trigger event
+event = OnRunMetric(
+     scope=project,
+     filter=RunEvent.metric("custom-metric") > 10,
+)
+
+# Create an action that responds to the event
+action = SendNotification.from_integration(slack_hook)
+
+# Create the automation

+     name="my-automation",
+     description="Send a Slack message whenever 'custom-metric' exceeds 10.",

+### List automations
+To list automations, use the [`Api.automations`](/models/ref/python/public-api/api#method-api-automations) method. Optionally, set the `entity` parameter to a team to return only automations from that team. For example:
+
+```python
+import wandb
+
+api = wandb.Api()
+automations = api.automations(entity="my-team")
+```
+If you omit the entity, all automations are returned that you have permission to view, regardless of the team.
+
+### Update an automation
+To edit an automation programmatically, use the [`Api.update_automation`](/models/ref/python/public-api/api#method-api-update-automation) method. Set the `name` parameter to the name of the automation to update. You can update any detail about the automation, including the name, description, action, event, or scope, or turn the automation on or off by changing the value of `enabled`.
+
+This example turns off an automation and edits its description:
+```python
+import wandb
+
+api = wandb.Api()
+
+automation = api.automation(name="my-automation")
+automation.enabled = False
+automation.description = "Kept for reference, but no longer used."
+
+updated_automation = api.update_automation(automation)
+```
+
+### Delete an automation
+To delete an automation programmatically, use the [`Api.delete_automation`](/models/ref/python/public-api/api#method-api-delete-automation) method, which accepts either an `Automation` object or the automation ID passed as a string.
