Autopilot
Add, update, look up and delete Autopilot contacts, and manage the contact lists they belong to, through the Autopilot v1 REST API.
OCNORA ships 8 typed Autopilot operations and 1 trigger. Each node has a schema-driven form, input and output tables beside its settings, and is pre-flighted by Workflow Health before your first real run. Endpoints not covered by a typed node are called at https://api2.autopilothq.com/v1 through the HTTP node with the same credential.
Before you connect Autopilot
- Authentication
- API key
- Credential
- the Autopilot API key (sent as the autopilotapikey header)the API key, or {"api_key": "…"}
- Connection test
- Available: the stored credential can be checked against the provider when you add it. This is not a record that a test was run or passed.
- Prerequisites
- The same API key the autopilot.* action nodes use — Autopilot has one key per account and no per-scope keys, so a key that can read contacts can register REST Hooks. Publishing also needs MANTLE_APP_PUBLIC_BASE_URL set to a URL Autopilot can reach.
Prerequisites are taken from the connection notes in this provider’s node contracts; each node’s reference page says which apply to it.

A sample Autopilot workflow
- 1Eventtrigger.autopilot_eventStart a run when Autopilot fires a REST Hook (contact added, updated, unsubscribed, or moved in or out of a list or segment).
- 2Get Contactautopilot.get_contactRetrieve one contact record by its Autopilot id or email address.
- 3Add Contact To Listautopilot.add_contact_to_listAdd an existing contact to a contact list. A contact already on the list comes back with not_modified set rather than as a failure.
An outline built from this provider’s node contracts, not a recorded run. Each step’s output fields are available to the next in the field picker.
Every node below has a reference page: what it does, the connection it needs, its config fields with types, constraints and examples, and the shapes it emits.
Operations 8
- Add Contact To ListAdd an existing contact to a contact list. A contact already on the list comes back with not_modified set rather than as a failure.autopilot.add_contact_to_list
- Delete ContactPermanently delete a contact, removing them from every journey, segment and list. Autopilot cannot undo this.autopilot.delete_contact
- Get ContactRetrieve one contact record by its Autopilot id or email address.autopilot.get_contact
- List ContactsRead one page of every contact in the account. Autopilot returns 100 at a time plus a bookmark; feed that bookmark back in for the next page.autopilot.list_contacts
- List Contacts On ListRead one page of the contacts on a contact list. Paged by bookmark the same way the account-wide reader is; smart segments are not supported.autopilot.list_contacts_on_list
- List Contact ListsRetrieve every contact list in the account with its id and title.autopilot.list_lists
- Remove Contact From ListRemove a contact from a contact list. A contact that was not on the list comes back with not_modified set rather than as a failure.autopilot.remove_contact_from_list
- Add or Update ContactCreate a contact, or overwrite the existing one with the same email address. Autopilot has no separate update method: fields sent here replace what is stored, and this is also how a contact is added to a list on creation.autopilot.upsert_contact
Autopilot questions
- How does OCNORA authenticate with Autopilot?
- With a stored API key credential, shaped the Autopilot API key (sent as the autopilotapikey header) or the API key, or {"api_key": "…"}. A connection test can check it when you add it.
- What can I automate with Autopilot?
- 8 typed operations and 1 trigger, each with a reference page listing its config fields and the shapes it emits.
- What if the Autopilot operation I need is not listed?
- Call https://api2.autopilothq.com/v1 from the HTTP node with the same credential, or describe the step to the AI builder, which asks our team for a typed node when one is missing.
- Are there templates that use Autopilot?
- Not yet. Start from a blank workflow, or describe the workflow to Build with AI.
- How are Autopilot calls controlled?
- Every call and every run step is audited, runs count against the execution budget, and Workflow Health pre-flights the workflow when you save it.
