Automations

Learn about SRE.ai's Automations feature

Overview

Automations empower you to orchestrate complex, multi-step processes seamlessly.

Automations integrate various applications and trigger criteria to streamline operations.

Automations take a declarative approach.

With Automations, you define your goals without worrying about the technical details of how they are achieved.

Automations make it accessible to users of all technical backgrounds and significantly reduce the learning curve.

Features

Triggers

Triggers initiate an Automation.

Triggers allow you to initiate an Automation exactly when needed, whether it's:

• After a manual activation

• After a change in an app such as Jira

• During a scheduled time

• After a commit

• After a promotion

• After a deployment

Learn more about Triggers in SRE.ai's Triggers documentation.

Steps

Steps define the execution of an Automation

Steps allow you to arrange the sequence of instances and dependencies that will occur after a Trigger.

Moreover, you can define specific conditions and criteria to keep a Step's execution smooth and error-free.
