Story
A story is Tines' unit of automation, a connected set of actions that receives events, calls tools and acts. It plays the role a playbook plays elsewhere. Stories export as JSON files and import into the same or another Tines tenant, with a Replace option on a name match.
What Story means
Tines builds a story from actions that pass events to each other. An action can call any API over HTTP, run a short Python script, or invoke an AI model.
Because a story is a JSON file, it can be stored and compared. The file leaves out credentials and event data, so those are re-entered on import.
Story in Tines's own words
A Tines story exports as JSON holding actions with their sources and receivers, and the export excludes event data, resources and credentials. Tines documentation, read 2026-11-03
