Automations

Automations are a pre-defined action to run remotely on a system, either manually or automatically when a sensor triggers.

1. Click Select Tool. The Run Automation dialog box displays.

   

2. Select an automation from the list.

3. Select a Run Mode. Run mode determines how the automation is run. Choose one of the following:

   • Run Silently: The sensor is triggered on the agent. The automation runs in the background with no user input. It will not affect the user experience.

   • Prompt: The sensor may interrupt the user workflow so the system opens a dialog box that prompts the user to respond yes or no if the automation will run.

   • Notify: The sensor runs and the system opens a dialog box letting the user know that the automation will run. The user has no option to stop the automation.

   For automations with Notify or Prompt, notifications are sent to the Self-Help app, which requires a Windows operating system.

4. Click Run.

Eligible systems for automations must have an operating system that matches the operating system of the automation and must be online.

For more information about automations, see Configure Automations.
