Configuring an Automated Workflow

Each Automated Workflow is constructed by configuring:

  1. A Trigger: The event that triggers an automated response. Please see Automation Workflow Triggers for further details.
  2. A Filter (optional): Set Client, Hostname, Folder Name and other specifics for the trigger event. Please see Automated Workflow Filters for further details.
  3. An Action: The response given when the workflow has been triggered. Please see Automated Workflow Actions for further details.

  1. Select Settings in the left-menu
  2. Click Automation Workflow

  3. Click the + Create Workflow button

  4. Enter a Workflow Name to identify it - this is a required field

    7. You can save the Automated Workflow during it's configuration and come back later to complete it by clicking Save Workflow. This will then be populated in the Incomplete Workflow list.

  7. Click + Add Trigger to open the trigger dialog where you select from the available triggers. Select the required Trigger type and then click Continue
  8. Depending which Trigger you select, you may be prompted to provide further information. Populate or select the desired items as required. Please see Automation Workflow Triggers for details

    9. Example: When selecting Domain, you will then be prompted to select which event with Domains to trigger on, such as Domain Expiration. Click Continue after making the required selection.

  9. If you need to narrow the Trigger condition, click + Add Filter. Select the required filter items from the available sub-set.
