Automations tutorial

Build a project run-failure alert or a registry alias-to-webhook automation using the UI or the API

This feature requires a Pro or Enterprise plan.

This tutorial walks you through building an automation. Choose Project or Registry in the dropdown above to see the steps for that scope. A project automation alerts when a run fails (Slack). A registry automation triggers a webhook when an alias (for example, production) is added to an artifact.

W&B Automations follow a simple pattern: when an event occurs and optional conditions are met, an action runs automatically. For example, when a run fails (event), notify a Slack channel (action). Or when the production alias is added to an artifact (event), call a webhook to trigger deployment (action). Events and available conditions depend on whether the automation is scoped to a project or a registry.

Run the full tutorial in a notebook

You can run the API steps for both automations, plus list/get/update/delete examples, in a single notebook:

• Automations tutorial notebook (GitHub)

Download or clone the repo and open the notebook in Jupyter or your preferred environment. You can also open it in Google Colab from the GitHub link.
