Creating an automation

Create an automation by defining the automation type and configuring the parameters and fields.

Automations are routines that run a task automatically. There are different types of automations depending on how tasks are run. Runbook Automation supports actions of type SSH (script), HTTP, Client-side, and Ansible®. For automations of type script and Ansible, a connection must be configured. Ansible automations are harvested directly from Ansible, so they appear in the automations table as soon as the Ansible connection is configured. To learn how to configure a connection, see Create a connection.

You must be logged on as an RBA Author to create automations.
