# Setup a Pre-built Automation

> Get started quickly with a pre-built automation for common workflows.

Agent Canvas ships with a set of pre-built automations for the most common agent workflows. Each one is a ready-to-use starting point — pick the one that fits your use case, connect it to the right backend, and you can have an automation running in minutes.

## Available Pre-built Automations

| [GitHub Repository Monitor](/openhands/usage/agent-canvas/prebuilt/github-repo-monitor) | Watches a repository for events and triggers agent actions in response            |

Every canvas backend includes an automation service, so you can run agents on a schedule or in response to external events.

## What You Can Do

In the `Automate` view, you can:

* Browse existing automations
* Inspect automation configuration and activity
* Enable or disable automations
* Work with recommended automation flows

## How Creation Flows Usually Start

The `Automations` view is mainly for browsing and managing automations that already exist.

In practice, new automation setup often starts in one of two ways:

* From a conversation, where you ask OpenHands to create an automation for you
* From a recommended automation flow in the `Automations` view

Visit the Automations Docs have a more [detailed guide on creating automations](/openhands/usage/automations/creating-automations).

Automations run against the active backend. Use [Manage Backends](/openhands/usage/agent-canvas/backends) to see and switch which backend your automations run on.
