# Grafana Workflows

Automate incident response and operational tasks with event-driven workflows in Grafana Cloud.

> Grafana Workflows is currently in [public preview](/docs/release-life-cycle/). Grafana Labs offers limited support, and breaking changes might occur prior to the feature being made generally available.

## Overview

Grafana Workflows is a workflow engine for Grafana Cloud that automates incident response, operational tasks, and cross-tool orchestration. You define workflows as a series of steps that run in response to events or on a schedule. Each step can call APIs, update incidents, post Slack messages, or run conditional logic.

Workflows connect to the tools you already use in Grafana Cloud. For example, when an incident is created, a workflow can automatically assign responders, create a Slack channel, and post a summary. Scheduled workflows can run recurring checks and send notifications on a regular cadence.
