[Create an automation](/models/automations/create-automations/) to trigger workflow steps, such as automated model testing and deployment, based on an event in W&B, such as when an [artifact](/models/artifacts/) artifact version is created or when a [run metric](/models/runs/) meets or changes by a threshold.
+This page describes _automations_ in W&B. [Create an automation](/models/automations/create-automations/) to trigger workflow steps, such as automated model testing and deployment, based on an event in W&B.
 
 For example, an automation can notify a Slack channel when a new version is created, trigger an automated testing webhook when the `production` alias is added to an artifact, or start a validation job only when a run's `loss` is within acceptable bounds.
 
-## Overview
-An automation can start when a specific [event](/models/automations/automation-events/) occurs in a registry or project.

-In a [Registry](/models/registry/), an automation can start:
-- When a new artifact version is linked to a collection. For example, trigger testing and validation workflows for new candidate models.
-- When an alias is added to an artifact version. For example, trigger a deployment workflow when an alias is added to a model version.
+## Automation events
 
-In a [project](/models/track/project-page/), an automation can start:
-- When a new version is added to an artifact. For example, start a training job when a new version of a dataset artifact is added to a given collection.
-- When an alias is added to an artifact version. For example, trigger a PII redaction workflow when the alias "redaction" is added to a dataset artifact.
-- When a tag is added to an artifact version. For example, trigger a geo-specific workflow when the tag "europe" is added to an artifact version.
-- When a metric for a run meets or exceeds a configured threshold.
-- When a metric for a run changes by a configured threshold.
-- When a run's status changes to **Running**, **Failed**, or **Finished**.
+Automations can be triggered by events related to runs or artifacts in a collection, project, or registry. An automation can start:
 
-Optionally, you can:
-- Filter artifacts, aliases, or tags by name
-- Filter runs by user or run name.
+- When a run metric meets a defined absolute or relative threshold. For example, trigger when a run's `loss` is less than 0.01 or when a run's `accuracy` improves by 5%.
+- When an event occurs in a project or registry. For example, trigger when a new version of a model artifact is created or when the `production` alias is added to a model artifact.
 
 For more details, see [Automation events and scopes](/models/automations/automation-events/).
 
+## Automation actions
+
+When an event triggers an automation, it can perform one of these actions:
+
+### Slack notification
+Send a message to a Slack channel with details about the triggering event. The message summarizes the event, with a link to view more details in W&B.
+
+### Webhook
+Call a webhook URL with a JSON payload containing information about the triggering event. This enables integration with external systems like CI/CD pipelines, model deployment services, or custom workflows. The body of the webhook request may be any JSON-serializable payload.
+

+## How automations work
+
 To [create an automation](/models/automations/create-automations/), you:
 
 1. If required, configure [secrets](/platform/secrets/) for sensitive strings the automation requires, such as access tokens, passwords, or sensitive configuration details. Secrets are defined in your **Team Settings**. Secrets are most commonly used in webhook automations to securely pass credentials or tokens to the webhook's external service without exposing it in plain text or hard-coding it in the webhook's payload.

-<Note>
-The following guide only applies to alerts in Multi-tenant Cloud.
-
-If you're using [W&B Server](/platform/hosting/) in your Private Cloud or on W&B Dedicated Cloud, refer to [Configure Slack alerts in W&B Server](/platform/hosting/monitoring-usage/slack-alerts) to set up Slack alerts.

 To set up an alert, take these steps, which are detailed in the following sections:
 
 1. Turn on Alerts in your W&B [User Settings](https://wandb.ai/settings).
