CoCo automations in CLI and Snowsight (Preview)

PreviewAug 21, 2026VerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026

CoCo automations in the CoCo CLI and CoCo in Snowsight are now available in public preview. Automations let you schedule recurring, unattended CoCo runs that execute in a Snowflake-managed sandbox. Each run creates a Cortex thread that you can inspect and continue in CoCo. Automations created from one surface can be monitored and managed from the other.
