Trigger Workflows Anytime

⚙️ Trigger Workflows Anytime

We are excited to release the ability to manually trigger Workflows independently and at anytime!

Workflows are the best way to automate your incident response and process. However, they rely on incident conditions being met (e.g. Started, Severity, Team, etc.).

There are plenty of use cases where you might not know the incident conditions but may still want to rely on a Workflow automation.

You'll now be able to trigger Workflows from both Web and Slack.

• Functions independent of incident conditions
• New Slack command /incident workflow or click Run Workflow button
• New Trigger Workflows option in incident tab on Web
• Accessible by any Rootly user
• Quickly rerun Workflows if necessary (e.g. fetch Datadog metric)
