# Manage automations with the API

> Programmatic automation management with the Python API (create and update may be affected on some client versions; prefer the W&B App until the SDK fix ships).

<Note>
  Programmatic **create** and **update** for automations through `wandb.Api().create_automation()` and related helpers can fail on recent `wandb` Python clients because of a client-side feature check (for example, run-state automations). Use the [W\&B App](/models/automations/create-automations) to create and edit automations until a fixed SDK ships. List, get, and delete may still work for your version; if you hit errors, rely on the App. Internal tracking: WB-34263.
