Automation Workflow Components
Automation Builder
The Automation Builder the Itential Automation Platform provides a graphical user interface for arranging and connecting tasks in a workflow to define operations and maintenance processes.
Automate operations tasks at your own pace with pass, fail, and revert options. Easily add manual tasks where needed to workflows and always know the status of your completed and running automations at any given point.
Form-Driven Automation
Oftentimes, when working an automation, an activity requires human interaction and data to properly perform the task. With Itential’s form driven automation, users can easily input data or manage automations with a few clicks, no need to write any custom code.

Intelligent Templates
Mitigate manual data parsing with Itential’s Intelligent Templates that allows users to define parsing conditions one time and apply that template for re-use. Our templates allow for parsing command responses in your automations using pre-built or custom templates, as well as the ability to create customizable templates for specific use cases and business needs.
Creating Flexible Network Automations Leveraging Itential’s Data Parsing & Templating Features
Command Templates
Build and execute automated operational activities that provide the ability to run network health checks by collecting and evaluating operational data from the network. Perform pre-checks prior to making any device changes to ensure an incident, outage, or conflicting maintenance event is not active. Conducted post-checks such as pass/fail evaluations, rule severities and variable processing, ensure device changes took effect as intended. Implement any number of checks and balances for peace of mind.

Analytics Templates
Evaluate and compare results of command template pre- and post-check executions with Itential’s Analytics Templates. Ensure your automations have achieved their desired result by collecting responses from a command at the beginning of the automation execution so that it can be compared against the same command at the end of the automation after a procedure has been performed against it.
Automation Catalog
Itential’s Automation Catalog enables organizations to expose network automations to more departments by allowing them to execute specific tasks. Users are provided with a self-service catalog for creating, viewing, and executing automations as well as the ability to manually start or schedule single or recurring automations.
