Itential’s unique automation capabilities enable NetDevOps to trigger workflows via different options best suited for their needs; form trigger, scheduled trigger, event-based trigger, or an API trigger. In the first part of the ItentiaLearn API Trigger demo series, you can see how to trigger automation workflows using APIs that enable teams to define specific endpoints that can then be consumed by webhooks or northbound systems, such as ServiceNow or NetBox. This flexibility to adapt to the specifications of northbound systems allows teams to integrate Itential into a broad spectrum of different systems quickly and efficiently, giving them more time back to focus on automating their network.
Learn step-by-step how to:
- Trigger an automation using APIs.
- Capture data from sources of truth to trigger automation.
- Use data to map job variables.
