Playbooks

playbooks are where automation is built quickly and easily and enriches data processing with swimlane turbine's playbooks, anyone can create modular, repeatable automations that process real time data what are playbooks? playbooks are self contained modular entities that help you quickly and easily build and/or enrich automation processes playbooks contain triggers actions conditions inputs and outputs repeats foreach loops playbooks are initiated by triggers and used to achieve desired outcomes playbook inputs playbook inputs pass and normalize data into a playbook from a trigger, application, or event triggers one or more triggers automate actions based on the criteria set within a playbook swimlane turbine currently uses four types of triggers to retrieve and/or ingest data webhooks record events schedules record action button once a playbook has been triggered, a series of actions within that playbook are executed actions actions are tasks within a playbook and a series of operations that happen when the playbook is executed actions include details to execute a task, i e , connectors and assets (used for third party authentication) have inputs and outputs can be configured with advanced steps, i e repeats are drag and drop for intuitive logic flow conditions conditions allow playbook builders to execute actions in a playbook when specific criteria are met can operate based off of properties from other actions or triggers have configured conditional statements, if desired contain on success, on failure, and on complete condition expressions playbook outputs action outputs are the response and/or result(s) from a connector technology, which can be applied as an input for other actions within your playbook, or promoted for use outside of the current playbook playbook architecture the following playbook architecture is for a single playbook, but provides a high level understanding of the playbook set up and logic flow playbook page component description playbooks displays the number of current playbooks click to navigate to the playbooks home page connectors displays the number of connectors installed click to navigate to the connectors home page webhooks displays the number of webhooks installed click to navigate to the webhooks home page assets displays the number of assets configured click to navigate to the assets home page filter by name a search field that allows you to find existing playbook names view mode toggles switch the playbooks view to card or list mode create a new playbook click the plus icon to create a new playbook
