Group Linked Automations

View automations linked to a device group through a trigger, action, or condition.

Updated this week

Introduction

The Linked automations tab shows every automation that references this group — whether as a trigger target, a condition, or an action scope. It's a quick way to understand what's running against a group before you rename, restructure, or delete it.


Linked Automations

Navigate to a group's settings (Devices → [group name] → Linked automations).

The table shows:

  • Name — the automation's name. Click it to open the automation directly.

  • Group — the group the automation is associated with (may include a category label like "Patching").

  • Step type — the trigger or condition that links this automation to the group, including a schedule summary where applicable.

Group Linked Automations

Use the Search automations field to filter by name. The dropdown filter next to it lets you narrow by step type.


Why This Matters

A group can't be deleted while it has linked automations. If you try to delete a group that's still referenced by an active automation, Level blocks the deletion and points you here.

⚠️ WARNING: Updating an automation to remove a group reference may change which devices that automation runs against. Review the automation's full scope before making changes.

Before deleting a group:

  1. Open Linked automations and review what's listed.

  2. Open each automation and update or remove the reference to this group.

  3. Once all automations are unlinked, return and delete the group.

💡 TIP: This tab is also useful when restructuring groups. If you're splitting or renaming a group, check here first to see which automations will need to be updated to point to the new group.


FAQ

  • An automation is listed here, but I don't think it should apply to this group. What do I do? Open the automation by clicking its name and review the trigger, conditions, and actions. If the group reference is unintentional, update the automation to target the correct group.

  • Can I unlink automations from this view? No — this is a read-only list. To unlink an automation, open it in Automations and update or remove the group reference there.
