Automations (Workflows)

Workflows allow you to create automatic processes for your server - no programming skills required.

What are Workflows?

Workflows are visual automations consisting of triggers, conditions, and actions. They are created in the workflow editor using drag & drop. A workflow starts with a trigger and then executes one or more actions.

Triggers

Triggers determine when a workflow starts. Available triggers:

Manual Trigger - Starts the workflow with a click in the dashboard

Schedule Trigger - Starts according to a cron schedule (e.g., daily at 3 AM). learn to use cron expression - https://docs.gitlab.com/topics/cron/

Server Start - Starts when the server boots up

Server Stop - Starts when the server shuts down

Webhook - Starts when an external URL is called

Actions

Actions are the steps the workflow executes. Available actions:

Send Command

Start Server

Stop Server

Restart Server

Create Backup

Discord Message

Send Email

HTTP Request

Wait

Conditions

Conditions allow you to branch the flow based on values.
