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.
Core capabilities
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 let you define the sequence of instances and dependencies that occur after a Trigger.
Moreover, you can define specific conditions and criteria to keep a Step's execution smooth and error-free.
Learn more about Steps in SRE.ai's Steps documentation.
Comprehensive workflow support
Combining Triggers and Steps allows you to customize your workflows to meet your specific needs.
Here are some functions you can execute with combinations of Triggers and Steps:
Promote changes when a pull request is approved
Automatically update a Jira issue when you promote a change to an environment.
Enable continuous integration and continuous deployment
Create and install package versions based on git operations
Maintain a pool of scratch-orgs with up-to-date packages, data, and configurations
Enhance team communication by posting messages to Slack channels directly from your workflows
