# Document

The **Document** view shows a structured summary of your automation, including its overview, execution steps, and input/trigger configuration. Access it by clicking <kbd>Document</kbd> from the automation detail view.

## Inputs and Triggers

Click <kbd>Inputs & Triggers</kbd> in the right panel to configure how the automation receives data and when it runs.

**Automations with inputs** show the **Add Inputs** dialog with two modes:

* <kbd>Add Manually</kbd> -- provide input values each time you run the automation
* <kbd>Add Schedule</kbd> -- run on a recurring schedule (disabled when the automation has required inputs)

{% hint style="warning" %}
Automations that require inputs cannot be scheduled. To use a schedule trigger, the automation must have no required input fields.
{% endhint %}

**Automations without inputs** show the **Triggers** dialog where you can add a schedule trigger.

### Schedule Trigger

A schedule trigger runs the automation automatically on a recurring basis. Set the frequency (every N days, weeks, or months), select which days, choose a start time and timezone. Presets like **Every 5 mins**, **Hourly**, **Daily**, and **Every Weekday** are available for common schedules.

Webhook and email triggers are configured from the draft editor. See [Drafts](/guides/platform/drafts.md#triggers) for setup instructions.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kognitos.com/guides/platform/automations/automation-document.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
