Automation tutorial overview

Learn to build a project run-failure alert or a registry alias automation.

W&B Automations follow a simple pattern: when an event occurs and optional conditions are met, an action runs automatically. For example:

• When a run fails (event), notify a Slack channel (action).
  
  
  
• When the production alias is added to an artifact (event), call a webhook to trigger deployment (action).
  
  
  

Events and available conditions differ for automations scoped to a project or a registry. See Automation events and scopes.

This page links to two end-to-end tutorials that show you how to create an automation in W&B. Each tutorial walks through a different scenario, so you can follow the one that matches what you want to build. For detailed guidance, select a tutorial.
