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
