Workflow Types

Rootly currently supports 6 different types of Workflows

  • Incident
  • Postmortem
  • Action Item
  • Alert
  • Pulse
  • Standalone

The difference between these Workflows is how they are triggered. For example an Incident Workflow will only be triggered by an Incident, and an Action Item Workflow will only be triggered by an Action Item.

Standalone Workflows are unique in that they aren't triggered by a particular Rootly object, they can be triggered simply with their corresponding Slack command.

Please note: You can use one type of Workflow to kickoff another kind of Workflow. For example if you were to create an Alert Workflow that had a Create Incident task then that particular Incident Workflow will then fire off.
