| 15 | +- **Execution timestamp**: When the automation was triggered. |
| 16 | +- **Triggering event**: The specific event triggered the automation. |
| 17 | +- **Status**: The execution's status. See [Execution status](#execution-status). |
| 18 | +- **Action details**: Information about what action was performed, such as notifying a Slack channel or running a webhook. |
| 19 | +- **Result details**: Additional information, if any, about the final outcome of executing the automation, including the error for a failed execution. |
| 20 | + |
