Automation
To support enterprises, the Retool Platform provides two different ways to manage development teams via automation. Either of these options is recommended versus manually ("ClickOps") configuring Retool to onboard a new team.
Automation options
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) provides organizations a software definition that automates repeatable operations. The following two options are currently supported.
Retool Events + Retool Workflows + Retool API
The first automation is leverage Retool Events that initiates a Retool Workflow. The Retool Workflow then calls the Retool API to create the necessary objects for a team onboarding. Learn more about events + workflows.
What to automate
Prior to implementing an automated action, the team will need to identify what a team requires. The most common options are:
- Space
- Single Sign On (SSO) Provider
- Source Code Management Provider (Git-based)
- Group(s)
- User(s)
- Other
Visually we can more easily see the connections and relationships.
