Automation
An Ascend Automation follows an event-driven trigger-action model, enabling you to run Flows on a schedule or based on events (such as an upstream Flow completing successfully). An Automation is triggered by a sensor or an event, resulting in execution of actions.
Sensors
Automation sensors trigger actions. Supported sensors:
- Timer (cron)
- Custom Python function
Events
Automation events trigger actions. Supported events:
- On Flow run success
- On Flow run failure
- On Component run success
- On Component run failure
- On a custom SQL filter for system events
Actions
When triggered, Automations execute one or more actions:
- Run a Flow
- Custom Python function
- Send email alert
- Run Otto
