Steps
POST a name to https://connect.mailerlite.com/api/automations to create a new draft automation
List existing automations with GET /api/automations, optionally filtering by filter[enabled], filter[name], or filter[group]
Fetch one automation's full trigger/step tree with GET /api/automations/{automation_id}, which returns its triggers array (e.g. type: subscriber_joins_group) and steps (delay, email, condition)
Monitor per-subscriber progress with GET /api/automations/{automation_id}/activity, filtering by status (active, completed, canceled, failed)
Delete an automation with DELETE /api/automations/{automation_id}
Known gotchas
The create endpoint only accepts a name — triggers, steps, and delays cannot be configured via API; the visual automation builder in the dashboard is required for that, so this task was reshaped from 'automation triggers' to what's actually API-capable
To react to automation starts/completions programmatically, use the subscriber.automation_triggered / subscriber.automation_completed webhook events instead of polling
Automations must be marked "complete" (fully configured with no warnings) in the dashboard before they'll run for any subscriber
