Hello Aditya - I did not see the tag in my notifications or I would have replied sooner - I just happen to be going through unanswered threads.

So yes this is possible - using the /run endpoint. You would need your developer API key and currently today only the owner of the automation can run it over the API.

https://qlik.dev/apis/rest/automations#%23%2Fentries%2Fv1%2Fautomations%2F-id%2Fruns-post 

keep in mind that you need to create an API KEY in the Management console

You can also use a simple URL call as well - in app auto it will show the call when setting up a trigger:

This can also be called from a button in Qlik Sense - (just in case you need that as an option)

Hope this helps 🙂

Hi @Michael_Tarallo 
Thanks for your reply .

I want to run my automation from postman . 
I have already created the api key from Qlik. and I also have automation Id and tenant id also.
But when i try to post that query it will through the 505 error.

curl 'https://{tenant_id}.sg.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/automations/{ID}/actions/execute' \
-XPOST \
-H 'X-Execution-Token:{Token_id }'

I am not able to right exact query to run that automation. But i am able to reload the app using app_id and api key.

Thanks 
Aditya

Hi @aditya_pratap , here's an example of this in Postman, I've set Auth to No Auth. Does it work if you use the same setting? If not let me know, feel free to share a screenshot of your setup in a direct message.

Hi @Emile_Koslowski ,

Thanks for giving the answer. But i am not able to see clearly the picture, can you reshare the screenshot. So i can see how you are calling the API.

I have API key and Automation ID what else we need here to run the automation through  postman .
Thanks in advance !!

Thanks
