Overview
This section highlights the features, benefits, and new capabilities of workflows.
Introduction to Workflows
Automations in the Meraki dashboard use Cisco Workflows, a powerful product designed to help users streamline operations by automating tasks and integrating intelligent functionalities. With Workflows, users can define sequences of activities that interact with multiple systems and data sources, simplifying complex operations and boosting productivity.
Workflows enable users to automate a wide range of tasks, such as data transformation, system integration, and conditional actions, by combining activities in a visual editor. Advanced capabilities such as Python script integration and the use of artificial intelligence through Large Language Models (LLMs) offer flexibility for both technical users and those without coding experience.
By automating routine and complex tasks, Workflows reduce manual effort, enhance consistency, and allow users to focus on higher-value activities.
Benefits
Workflows empowers you to:
-
Simplify and streamline common tasks across all IT domains.
-
Harness automation to decrease human error.
-
Investigate events with machine-like speed using pre-built and custom workflows.
-
Integrate Cisco and third-party systems to expand your network automation toolbox.
Note: Workflows is a Cisco innovation offered to our customers at no additional cost and is accessible through the Meraki Dashboard. You can create a Meraki account without any Meraki devices or licensing and access Workflows to build automations that connect and orchestrate tasks with external systems like Catalyst Center, ISE, and more.
