Action Items from Workflows, Incident Roles and the API
Action items and Workflows
Workflows can use action items as a trigger or an action. You’ll find examples of each below. Learn more about Workflows.
Workflows can create action items based on a trigger. For example, when the security team is added, this workflow will create a task in Rootly to alert the legal team:
Triggers
Teams added
Conditions
Kind is > Incident
and
Team > is one of > Security
Actions
Create a task to alert the Legal team
Workflows can use action items as a trigger. For example, the creation of a follow-up on a high-priority incident will create a task in Jira:
Triggers
Action item created
Conditions
Type > is one of > Task
and
Priority > is one of > High
Actions
Create a Jira task
Action items and incident roles
Add action items to incident roles to pre-populate tasks and follow-up items with every incident.
- Go to Configuration > Roles
