A single uniform programming tool for every aspect of an automation project minimizes training needs, solidifies overall integration, and eliminates communication problems between engineering disciplines.
In Automation Studio, a fieldbus device is added to the corresponding fieldbus interface and configured like an I/O module. When using the import function for a device description from the respective supplier (GSD, EDS, etc.), the same interface is available to the user as is available for any other I/O module. As an open standard for setting parameters and configuring fieldbus devices for automation, the integrated FDT/DTM technology makes it easy to integrate fieldbus devices using familiar methods. This simplifies integration and minimizes the amount of programming and commissioning work needed. [More...]
I am reviewing some activities in our SFMC instance that some previous coworkers built. In one automation activity, I am seeing an activity I can't find. I can't find the "Journey Entry" activity in Automation Studio Activities section. See screenshot.
I had the same question. I never saw the option to drag "Journey Entry" as an Automation Activity to drag over to step 2. I had luck with setting up the Automation Filter (step 1), then set up my Journey in Journey Builder to use that Automation as the Schedule. Once I activated the Journey and activated the automation, the Journey entry audience popped into the Automation automatically as Step 2. It never showed up as an option to drag over from the Activities section of the Automation. I hope this helps...
Human-interactive workflows in Automation Studio make your life easier by blending automation with personal touchpoints. Imagine you're managing a project: the system can automatically update task statuses, but can ping you via email, Slack, or Microsoft Teams for approval before sending a progress report to stakeholders. You stay in control while the routine stuff gets handled automatically.
These are prebuilt, documented recipes built by Epicor to cover common integration and automation requirements our customers will need, designed for their Epicor system. Templates include AP Invoice Approval and integrations to popular apps including Salesforce, BigCommerce, and SugarCRM.
The educational version of Automation Studio is a limited features version used by engineering and technical schools to train students who are future engineers or technicians. The software is designed for schools that teach technical subjects such as industrial technologies, mechatronics, electromechanical technologies, electrical & electronics, automation, and maintenance. Modeling and simulation are used to illustrate theoretical aspects.
Automation Studio speeds up automation development and deployment by empowering business and technical users to independently create automations that unlock business value. It brings the flexibility, openness and stability the technical team demands, and speeds to value for business users.
Automation Studio is a next-generation, cloud-based environment for developing robust attended and unattended process automations with ease. The clean, user friendly interface enables citizen developers to create their own automation use cases.
Once you've created your automation and have your audience data extension imports configured, your Workflow tab might look something like the image below. In the screen shot, you can only see four files being imported, but there are five more present below the screen line, so you can add as many as you need for your send.
If you're feeling a bit nervous about your data extensions running successfully and want build time into the send to double check that there are no errors, you can do so by dragging the Wait option from the Activities menu into the canvas space designated for Step Two of your automaton. This means that after the data extensions have imported, the automation will wait for the amount of time you specify before moving onto the actual send.
Automation Studio is designed to connect with Salesforce Send Emails ONLY. If you're not familiar with how to create a Salesforce Send Email, review Marketing Cloud Salesforce Send Email. Once you've selected your audience and scheduled any desired wait time, your next step is to link your automation to an already-existing Salesforce Send Email.
To schedule your automation and email send, click on Configure or Edit (if you've already used this automation before) under the Schedule Starting Source. For our example, we'll be selecting Edit.
REMINDER Any changes you make in your automation after activating it and saving it will result in the automation being paused. Be sure to reactivate your automation if you make any changes.
The intuitive user interface enables engineers of all skill levels to participate in creating, visualizing, building, and executing network automations, reducing human errors and operational inefficiencies.
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.
Securely publish and share network automations to be utilized by other team members and consumed by other platforms. Published automations appear in a self-service catalog within Operations Manager within the platform or can be quickly integrated into other self-service platforms like ServiceNow.
Itential Automation Studio is an application that enables network practitioners with no programming experience to quickly build powerful end-to-end network automations in a low-code, drag-and-drop canvas. Within the platform, customers have the ability to download from a freely available library of 100+ pre-built use cases, adapters, and transformations to help teams run their first automations within days instead of months.
Automations are built in Automation Studio using a low-code, drag-and-drop canvas. API integrations with different IT systems and networking controllers are presented as tasks that can be dropped onto the canvas with logical paths and operations, linking tasks together into a logical workflow. Automation Studio includes the ability to build pre-check and post-check templates, input validation forms and data transformations, and use these in the automation workflow. A background in programming is not necessary to use Automation Studio.

Yes, the ability to run separate, distinct automations as a child job is available within a workflow. This makes it possible to build automations that focus on a specific function, like opening a change request ticket in an ITSM, and reusing that as a child job in other automations. This allows multiple teams to work within Automation Studio to build and manage automations that are specific to their domain. Network teams can focus on building automations related to networking tasks and leverage automations that another team builds and maintains for processes like opening and updating change request tickets, or communications notifications to different teams.
Yes, Itential supports closed-loop automation with event triggers (Kafka, RabbitMQ, NETCONF, etc.) or through API webhook triggers to start any automation. Any data made available through these triggers is available to be used within your automations or as input to any pre-existing automation script (BASH, Python, etc.) or Ansible Playbook.
Automations built in Automation Studio can be published and made available through Automation Catalog. In Automation Catalog, teams can define which users and groups can run or manage an automation and schedule it to run once or on a recurring basis.
The Itential Automation Platform supports both traditional CLI-based networking devices as well as API-based networking services and building automations across either follows the same methodology in Automation Studio.

Automation Studio includes tools to quickly create pre-check and post-check functions using Command and Analytic Templates for CLI-based devices. CLI commands can be defined and executed, and the output of these commands can be captured and parsed. These templates do not require any form of code. Additionally, any API tasks that are available through integrated network systems, or any network automation scripts can be used in a workflow to build the most robust pre-check and post-check process needed.
Yes, they can. Instead of throwing away any existing automations your team may have invested in, Itential supports the ability to integrate these valuable automations by onboarding them in Automation Gateway, where they can be decorated and made available through an API interface. Automation Gateway supports nearly any script that can be run from a Linux command line, and has additional integration support for Ansible, Terraform, Nornir, and Netmiko. Automation Gateway also serves as a system to organize, test, run, and publish scripts across the entire network team and helps foster the ability to collaborate and share automations together.
