A webhook node parses its payload template as JSON before resolving
placeholders, so a template with unquoted {{ }} placeholders or any malformed
JSON could be saved, tested, and activated — only to fail midway through a run.
Reject it up front instead: AutomationConfigValidator is the single source of
truth for per-node config issues (keyed to the field the editor surfaces them
under), enforced on save (field errors), on activate, and before a test run.
The editor mirrors the check to disable Test/Activate with a clear reason, and
the test panel now surfaces the server's message instead of a generic toast.
Replace magic strings across the automation domain with backed PHP enums
(HttpMethod, AuthType, DelayUnit, ScheduleField) and mirrored TS consts
(http-method, auth-type, delay-unit, schedule-field, condition-operator,
publish-mode), plus the existing Condition\Handle / Operator / Publish\Mode.
Also:
- require scheduled_offset via concrete-index required_if instead of
defaulting to 60 when the publish mode is scheduled
- fail the webhook node explicitly when the resolved url is empty
- localize node failure messages (fetch_rss/http/webhook)
- cast resolver/strtoupper inputs to string so a present-null config value
degrades gracefully instead of crashing
- list automations with config('app.pagination.default'), drop the perPage param
- Pagination: drop the perPage override from ListAutomations and the
hardcoded page size from GetAutomationInvocations; both use
config('app.pagination.default'). Document the rule in CLAUDE.md.
- Imports: import DomainException / InvalidArgumentException / Throwable
instead of inline backslash references across the automation actions.
- i18n: move the hardcoded Fetch RSS and HTTP Request failure strings to
automations.errors.* in all three locales.
- Publish: require scheduled_offset when mode is scheduled (validation)
and drop the magic 60-minute default in the node. Fixes the required_if
rules to reference the concrete node index instead of a wildcard that
never resolved (also repairs the trigger cron rule).
- Condition handles: back the yes/no output handles with a shared
Condition\Handle enum (PHP) and ConditionHandle const (TS).
Remove the "Custom (Cron)" schedule field — too technical for the editor.
The remaining presets (minutes/hours/days/weeks/months) cover the need and
still build the cron string under the hood.
Removed at the root: the ScheduleField.Custom enum case, the custom-cron
input and select option, the schedule_custom_cron type field and its
schedule-summary handling, the backend validation (Rule::in and the
schedule_custom_cron rule), the i18n keys, and the custom round-trip test
case. Existing automations keep firing — the scheduler runs off the stored
cron string, not schedule_field.
Replace free-text brand_tone/brand_voice_notes with a single structured
brand_voice_traits JSON column backed by the BrandVoiceTrait enum, exposed
as choice-chip pills in the brand settings UI and autofillable from a site.
Brand voice and visuals become per-automation toggles on the Generate node.
Unify the image controls into one 0-10 picker (0 = text-only, 1 = single,
2+ = carousel) and feed the generator the most restrictive selected network
so copy fits every platform. Pass that same platform context through the
humanizer pass — extracted into a shared ResolvesPlatformCopyBudget trait —
so the rewrite can no longer drift past the character cap the generator
respected, in both the automation and manual creation flows.
Persist the trigger node's schedule editor fields on save (they were
silently dropped by validated() for lacking validation rules).
