Feature Request: Ability to Pause and Resume Automations

Role

As an Appmixer user

Goal

I want to be able to pause my running automations, make changes, and then resume them without causing any downtime.

Reason

Currently, any modifications to live automations require stopping them, which leads to downtimes. This feature would allow seamless updates and modifications to automations, enhancing productivity and minimizing disruptions.

Acceptance Criteria

• Users can pause any running automation directly from the Appmixer UI.
• Users can modify the paused automation without affecting its runtime environment.
• After modifications, users can resume the automation from its paused state without losing context or causing errors.
• The system logs the event of pausing and resuming, documenting any changes made while the automation was paused.

Test Case

1. Navigate to the dashboard of running automations and select an automation to pause.
2. Click the 'Pause' button and verify that the automation status changes to 'Paused'.
3. Make necessary changes to the automation while it's in a paused state.
4. Resume the automation by clicking the 'Resume' button.
5. Confirm that the automation resumes from where it was paused without errors or data loss.
6. Check system logs to ensure that the pause and resume events, along with any modifications, are recorded correctly.
