Operational workflows
Coordinate an incident across people and systems
Use an automation to start a multi-step DAG where notifications, HTTP integrations, records, and approvals share one execution context.
Illustrative pattern · Based on documented SmartMod capabilitiesFollow the signal
From input to accountable response.
A critical event often spans several tools and owners. Independent alerts leave teams to reconstruct what happened and what should happen next.
What SmartMod contributes
Composable capabilities, one operating context.
A conceptual governed flow where every step receives the same context and sensitive execution can remain accountable to a person.
Multiple trigger modes
Run an automation from telemetry, a schedule, or an explicit manual request.
Typed actions
Compose notifications, HTTP requests, and data operations as reusable units.
DAG orchestration
Arrange action nodes with dependencies instead of embedding one rigid script.
Governed execution
Use validation, approval, retry, timeout, and execution history where required.
A possible implementation path
Start with the outcome, then connect the pieces.
- 01
Define reusable actions
Configure each external effect and its execution options independently.
- 02
Arrange the DAG
Connect action nodes according to dependencies and desired branches.
- 03
Map shared context
Pass trigger data and node outputs through the flow execution.
- 04
Apply governance
Add approval to sensitive work and inspect executions when tuning the process.
Grounded in the product
What the documentation confirms.
- Flows are documented as multi-step workflows built from chained actions in a DAG.
- Actions support typed execution, validation, approval, scheduling, timeout, and retries.
- Automations can react to telemetry, run on a schedule, or be triggered manually.
