Automation Workflows

Overview

Using Automation Workflows, you can run automated Actions on RUM Work based on Trigger and Trigger Condition(s). For creating and running an automation workflow, it's necessary to select the Trigger (you can use only one trigger for single automation) and based on that; you need to choose condition(s) and define its values.

To access Automation Workflows, you can go to the Automation → Automation Workflows from your Dashboard.
