Workflow Automations

Automate developer routines

If IDPs are meant to reduce away work, why send your team off-platform to finish theirs? Centralize flows that handle anything from repo setup to approval chains.

How it works

Pull from our actions library to build your ideal developer workflows, reducing overhead for requesters and approvers.

Define tasks

Incorporate standards from across the approval chain to speed workflows without sacrificing quality or security.

Build flows

Link actions to automate work in Cortex or connected tools. Add breaks and branches for user input, system status checks, or even manual approvals.

Execute

Enable devs to self-serve flows that put them back in control of their day—improving happiness, and velocity.

Workflow Automations

Use Cases

There is no limit to the Workflow Automations that your team can create. Whether you’re looking to accelerate onboarding, speed incident response, or just make it easier for devs to spin up a new service. Here are a few use cases to consider:

No more, "Can I have access to..."

Account setup that requires you to file a ticket, wait for approval, and repeat is a waste of time for devs, managers, and SREs. Automate onboarding to reduce tickets and speed time to impact.

Deploy infra on golden paths

Infra-as-code takes more than a scaffolding template and a PR in Terraform. Connect an S3 bucket, spin up a PagerDuty service, issue an auto-formatted Jira ticket, and request manual approval in one place.

Reduce time-to-find

Auto-compile context related to critical incidents, and serve Slack notifications to alert on-call developers of latest issue, recent changes, location of runbooks, and more.

Build any flow

Most IDPs touting “workflow automation” actually just offer single-action events. Cortex Workflows let you chain together unlimited actions across all connected tools and teams.
