Automations
Learn about SRE.ai's Automations feature
Overview
Automations let you define and orchestrate multi-step workflows across your DevOps pipeline.
An Automation is a sequence that runs automatically when a specific event happens.
You define a sequence once, and SRE.ai runs it for you.
Each Automation has two parts:
A Trigger defines what kicks it off
Steps define what happens next, in order
You define the goal. Automations handle the how.
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 deployment completes
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.
You can also define conditions and criteria to keep each 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
Notify your team by posting messages to Microsoft Teams channels directly from your workflows
Salesforce connection support: Automations work with both OAuth and JWT-authenticated Salesforce connections.
How it works
Main page
By default, the Automations page only displays active Automations.
Click the "All" button to view every Automation in your system.
Click on an existing Automation to view or edit the Automation.
Activity tab
The Activity tab in the Automation Builder displays the history of the given Automation.
Stopping an Automation
To stop a running Automation, open the Activity tab and click the Stop button next to the active run.
This is useful for canceling hung or unintended Automation executions.
Setup
Click the "New" button on the main page to open the Automation Builder, where you can name your Automation.
In the Automation Builder, click the Edit button to add or remove Steps and edit existing Triggers and/or Steps.
Click the Activation button to activate your Automation after you have arranged your desired Triggers and Steps.
Automations will handle the rest, ensuring your processes run smoothly and efficiently.
