/v1/automations/{id}/run

Runs it once for real (not a test), whether or not it is switched on. Only for automations started by hand or on a schedule; event-started ones run when the event happens. Returns 202 with the run; read it with GET /v1/automation-runs/{id}. Counts toward the plan’s monthly runs. Owners and admins only.
