5. Creating Workflows

Workflows are actions agents can take on alerts and cases via a programmable button.

Workflows are custom actions you can create in our Dashboard in the form of a button. For example, you can create a button to automatically escalate an alert to P0 or assign a case to a specific team member.

Create a Workflow Button:


  1. Log into your Dashboard under a user with administrator privileges.
  2. On the left side navigation, select System.
  3. Head over to the Workflows tab:
