Insight: Automations

Automations are actions that the Orange Logic platform can perform without user intervention whenever certain criteria are met. Orange Logic administrators can apply automations to many different Orange Logic modules to advance and streamline workflows. Common automations include:

  • Adding metadata to assets
  • Moving assets
  • Creating child assets
  • Sending notification emails

Security Functions and Permissions for automations

Users need Security Functions and Permissions relevant to a particular module to create automations. For example, users need the Workflow Security Function to use the Workflow builder, the FlowSteps Security Functions to create and edit FlowSteps, and the Can manage Secret Vault Security Function to manage credentials in the Call external API automation.
