Automations and connectors
Use these guides to build reusable operations, schedule them, route their results, and connect all 18 implemented external destinations.
Automation workflows
- Schedule and operate tasks
- Build and run workbooks
- Build and run playbooks
- Route and review notifications
- Create and manage Sub Agents
Connector workflows
Start with Manage connector lifecycle. Provider recipes follow the same categories as the connector gallery:
- Messaging and ChatOps — Microsoft Teams, Slack, Microsoft Outlook, Email (SMTP)
- Ticketing and ITSM — Jira, ServiceNow, PagerDuty
- Observability and SIEM — Splunk, Grafana, AWS Security Hub, Cortex XSOAR, Sumo Logic, CrowdStrike Next-Gen SIEM
- Queues and storage — Azure Service Bus Queue, Amazon SQS, Amazon S3
- Automation and orchestration — Azure Logic Apps
- Custom webhooks — Webhook
The implemented type identifiers are teams, slack, outlook, email, jira, servicenow, pagerduty, splunk, grafana, securityhub, xsoar, sumologic, crowdstrike_ngsiem, servicebus, sqs, s3, logicapp, and webhook.
Test versus Send test
Test is configuration-only or a lightweight authentication/read probe. It does not intentionally create tickets, messages, incidents, findings, queue messages, or storage objects. A successful configuration-only test proves only that required values are present.
Send test performs a real delivery and can have downstream effects. The UI and API support it only for this allowlist: Teams, Slack, Email (SMTP), Outlook, Webhook, PagerDuty, Splunk, Grafana, Logic Apps, Sumo Logic, and CrowdStrike Next-Gen SIEM. The button is not available for Jira, ServiceNow, XSOAR, Service Bus, SQS, S3, or Security Hub; use each guide’s safe verification procedure instead.
Permissions
Connector management requires connectors.manage. Feature pages list their own permissions. Use least-privilege provider identities and non-production destinations while validating a new integration.
