# Module 4: Automations with Remote Agents

## Intro

Module 4 turns agent best practices into hands-free automation: wiring Jira, GitHub, and Zencoder’s autonomous flows so labeled tickets trigger agents that implement fixes and queue peer reviews without manual intervention.

## Key takeaways

* Pilot autonomy with a scoped task (e.g., adding docstrings) so you can verify the agent’s output before scaling to broader work.
* In the Zencoder dashboard, create a GitHub connection, register target repos, and spin up an Autonomous Flow (select agent + repo) while copying the webhook URL/secret plus issuing a personal access token (client ID/secret).
* Build a Jira automation that fires on specific labels (such as `zenagents-github`), posts to the Zencoder webhook, and forwards issue summary/description while signing with the stored secret.
* Store the Zencoder client ID/secret and needed GitHub token as encrypted repo secrets so GitHub Actions can authenticate the Zencoder CLI.
* Author GitHub workflows that download the Zencoder CLI, invoke the chosen agent with Jira payload details, and optionally chain a second flow for automated PR review once the implementation agent opens a PR.
* Monitor Actions logs to track agent runs, inspect generated branches/PRs, and confirm that review agents leave feedback before you merge.
* Remember similar setups work for GitLab or Bitbucket; adapt the same webhook/token flow to their automation hooks.
