A Sequentum Agent is a reusable web automation that visits a site, follows instructions, and returns structured records. Agents can run manually, from the API, through MCP, or on a Schedule. Most teams create Agents with Agent Builder. Use the Editor when you need full control over commands, scripts, or migration from Sequentum Enterprise.

​
Two ways to author an Agent

Agent Builder

Default path. Describe the site and fields in plain language; Sequentum plans, builds, tests, and hands you a runnable Agent.

The Editor

Advanced path. Hand-author the command tree for complex navigation, custom scripts, or niche commands.

​
What an Agent contains

Every Agent combines:
  • Commands — the navigation and extraction instructions: open pages, click, fill forms, paginate, parse fields, and export data.
  • Output schema — the fields and record shape the Agent emits.
  • Runtime settings — optional browser, proxy, anti-blocking, and execution properties.
Agents live inside a Space. They are versioned, so each save creates a new version you can restore later.

​
Lifecycle

1

Build

A new Agent starts as a draft while it is being built or edited.
2

Save

Publishing the draft creates the first saved version. The Agent receives an integer agentId and versionNumber 1.
3

Create versions

Each later save creates a new versionNumber. The highest-numbered version is active unless you restore an earlier one.
Archive an Agent to hide it without deleting it. Unarchive it when you need to run or edit it again. Run lifecycle is separate. Starting an Agent creates a Run with its own runId, status, outputs, and diagnostics.

​
Run an Agent

Once an Agent is saved, you can:

​
Identifiers

These are the IDs you’ll see most often when working with Agents:

agentId

Unique identifier for the Agent. It appears in Agent detail screens, run-start responses, and Agent API paths.

versionNumber

Saved version of an Agent. It increments on each save and is used when restoring an earlier version.

runId

Identifier for a single execution of an Agent. Each run has its own status, outputs, diagnostics, and lifecycle.

Start a run

Trigger an Agent and optionally return records synchronously.

List agents

Find the Agents available in a Space.

Restore a version

Roll an Agent back to an earlier saved version.

Run lifecycle

Understand run status, outputs, stopping, and failures.
