Sleuth's Custom Automation Framework enhances workflow automation by utilizing triggers to specify when an automation should be executed. These triggers, which form a crucial part of the framework, include categories such as deploy, pull request, CRON, and Work in Progress (WIP), each offering specific events to initiate automations. Deploy triggers activate based on deployment events and their durations, while pull request triggers respond to actions involving pull requests, such as opening, editing, or merging. CRON triggers allow automations to be scheduled at regular intervals for teams, projects, or open pull requests, and WIP triggers focus on open pull requests to provide insights into ongoing work and its impact on DORA metrics. This system streamlines processes by facilitating automations that can react to a variety of conditions, thereby improving efficiency and focus for development teams. The series will continue with a discussion on conditions, which define the specific checks necessary to ensure automations are triggered appropriately.
