What It Does
Sisyphus is an automation platform: you pick a trigger, add steps and let it run on a schedule. The Aethel connector adds triggers such as "order filled" or "price crosses a level" and actions such as "place a limit order" or "export trades".
Common setups are a weekly recurring buy, a message to your team chat whenever a large order fills, and a monthly CSV of all trades sent to your finance inbox. Each automation keeps a run history so you can see exactly what it did.
How to Connect
- In Aethel, go to Settings → API keys and create a scoped key for Sisyphus.
- Choose only the scopes the automation needs, for example Read and Trade.
- In Sisyphus, add the Aethel connector and paste the key.
- Build your first automation from a template or from scratch.
- Run it once in test mode and check the result before scheduling it.
Permissions and Security
Every Sisyphus automation uses a scoped key, so a reporting flow can read history without being able to trade. No scope allows withdrawals, and keys can carry daily limits.
- Withdrawal scopes are not available to automations.
- Daily order and volume limits can be set per key.
- Pause an automation or delete its key from either app.
Good to Know
Start with a small test amount when an automation places orders, and keep a notification step at the end of each flow so you hear about every run. A failed step stops the run instead of retrying a trade on its own.
