Configuring workflow triggers in Orchestration

You can connect an Orchestration Workflow to a Space to start a Notification.

When you configure a workflow trigger and subscribe a space to the trigger, you can use that trigger to schedule notifications in that space. Later, when you create a notification in Dashboards or in Space Management, you can set that notification schedule based on a workflow trigger for the subscribed space.

  1. From Orchestration, select the workflow from the Workflow list.
  2. Click Actions for that workflow.
  3. Select Workflow Trigger from the Actions menu.
  4. Specify the trigger information in the Configure Workflow Trigger panel:
    Trigger Label
    The label or name for the trigger.
    Trigger Description
    Add a description of the trigger and any workflow-related details, such as schedule and data sets that are available upon completion. This field is optional.
    Space
    Select the space you want to subscribe to this trigger. When you select a space, this trigger becomes available to be used on this specific space. Click the Spaces icon to display the Spaces panel where you can search and select the space to subscribe.
    Note: You can select only one space per trigger.
  5. Click Done to add the workflow trigger. You can click Remove Trigger to remove the trigger from the workflow.
    The Done and Remove Trigger buttons become available only when Trigger Label and the Space are specified.
    The workflow trigger is activated when the last step of the workflow is completed, for example:
    • If the entire workflow completes successfully, the trigger is initiated
    • If only the final step of the workflow is successful, the trigger is initiated
    Note: It is not initiated if the final step fails, even if earlier steps succeed.
