This guide walks you through creating and running your first automation on Script.it. You’ll sign up, describe a workflow, and have the AI agent build and run it — no coding required. The whole process takes about five minutes.
1

Sign up for Script.it

Go to app.script.it/login and create a free account. No credit card is required. Once you sign in, you’ll land in your workspace where you can start building right away.
Your free account comes with included credits so you can build and run scripts straight away.
2

Choose a template or start from scratch

You can begin in one of two ways:
  • Browse templates at script.it/templates — ready-made workflows for common tasks like reporting, research, data processing, and content creation. Click a template to open it in your workspace.
  • Start from scratch — open a new session and describe what you want to automate.
If this is your first time, starting from a template is a great way to see how scripts are structured before customising them.
3

Chat with the agent to build your script

In the chat panel, type a description of what you want your automation to do. Be as specific as you like — the agent handles the rest.For example:
“Every morning, fetch the top 5 headlines from Hacker News and send them to my Slack channel.”
The agent will ask any clarifying questions it needs, then generate a script with the appropriate blocks. You’ll see the script appear in your workspace as it’s being built.
You can iterate freely — just keep chatting to refine the script. Ask the agent to add steps, change behaviour, or explain what a block does.
4

Review and run the script

Once the agent finishes building, take a moment to review the script. You can see each block listed in order, with a description of what it does.When you’re ready, click Run to execute the script. The agent runs it in a secure isolated environment and streams the output back to your chat session so you can see what happened.If anything doesn’t look right, describe the issue in chat and the agent will fix it.
5

Connect integrations if needed

If your script reads from or writes to an external service — Slack, Gmail, Notion, Google Sheets, and so on — you’ll need to connect that integration first.The agent will prompt you if a connection is missing. You can also connect integrations ahead of time from the Integrations section of your workspace. See Connecting integrations for details.
6

Set up a trigger to automate it

Running the script manually is useful for testing, but the real power comes from automation. Triggers let your script run itself:
  • Schedule — run on a recurring schedule using plain-English timing like “every day at 9 AM” or a cron expression.
  • Webhook — run when an external service sends an HTTP request to a unique URL Script.it provides.
  • Integration event — run in response to something happening in a connected tool, like a new email or a new row in a spreadsheet.
To set up a trigger, describe it in chat: “Run this every weekday morning at 8 AM.” The agent will create the trigger for you.See Triggers for a full explanation of each trigger type.
