~maybe something like - uses the configured pipeline to initiate a run
otherwise it sounds like there is some more complex 'choosing' mechanism?

"automatic" as opposed to "manual" was the meaning but I can remove if it sounds ambiguous - I guess other than someone pressing the button in the app the API/CLI will not be manual either actually. I can just make it a list of examples without the auto/manual framing
