Automation Management Playbook Triggers

Automatically run playbooks using triggers.

A playbook can run automatically when a certain situation occurs; for example, when an alert is created. This situation is called the playbook trigger. There are four playbook triggers:

  • Alert is created

  • Alert is modified

  • Case is created

  • Case is modified

The trigger object is the entity involved in the trigger; for example, if a playbook is triggered when an alert is created, the trigger object is an alert.

Not all playbooks have a trigger. You can create a playbook without a trigger. You can only run playbooks without a trigger manually on a specific case or alert.
