Hi @NateDhaliwal ,

Many thanks for your reply.

Yes, I have followed that guide… I will comment the guide with some suggestions afterwards.

I made the custom automation work btw.

The problem with the 500 internal server error was that I was tagging the wrong “context”, I found it out looking at the logs and tagging the correct one.

Once the content of the right context was added to a variable, the 500 internal server error was solved.

Further logic in the code was also modified.

Edit: To make the custom automation work in my local deployed instance I had to modify also the following files:

## Create your custom automation script

## Update: server.en.yml

add custom automation name; title; and description on the scriptables section of the yml file.

## Update: client.en.yml

add custom automation name on scriptables; add the ‘field’ keyword; inside field keyword add ‘field\_name’ followed by ‘label’ and ‘description’

## Update: scripts.rb

add the custom automation name in the list of scripts. Sample: FILE\_NAME = “file\_name”

## Update: plugin.rb

inside ‘after\_initialize do’, add the path to the custom automation script. Sample: ‘lib/discourse\_automation/scripts/file\_name’
