[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 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 artifact event occurs in a project or registry. For example, trigger when a new model version is created or when the `production` alias is added to a model.
 
 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 includes relevant information such as the entity name, user who triggered the event, and 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 webhook payload includes:
+- Event details (type, entity information)
+
+For implementation details, see:

+## 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.

-- **An artifact alias is added**: Trigger a specific step of your workflow when a new artifact version has a specific alias applied. For example, deploy a model when it has the `production` alias applied.

-### Scopes
-A project-level automation watches for the event taking place on any collection in the project. Depending on the event you specify, you can further limit the scope of the automation.
-
-### Artifact events
-This section describes the events related to an artifact that can trigger an automation.
-
-- **A new version is added to an artifact**: Apply recurring actions to each version of an artifact. For example, start a training job when a new dataset artifact version is created. To limit the automation's scope, select a specific artifact in the **Artifact filter** field.
-- **An artifact alias is added**: Trigger a specific step of your workflow when a new artifact version in a project has an alias applied that matches the **Alias regex** you specify. For example, run a series of downstream processing steps when an artifact has the `test-set-quality-check` alias applied, or run a workflow each time a new artifact version has the `latest` alias. Only one artifact version can have a given alias at a point in time.
-- **An artifact tag is added**: Trigger a specific step of your workflow when an artifact version in a project has a tag applied that matches the **Tag regex** you specify. For example, specify `^europe.*` to trigger a geo-specific workflow when a tag beginning with the string `europe` is added to an artifact version. Artifact tags are used for grouping and filtering, and a given tag can be assigned to multiple artifact versions simultaneously.
+In a project, an automation can start when an artifact version is created, tagged, or aliased. Project automations are scoped to the team and apply to all of the project's collections.
 
-### Run events
-An automation can be triggered by a change in a [run's status](/models/#run-states) or a change in a [metric value](/models/track/log/#what-data-is-logged-with-specific-wb-api-calls).
+Regular expressions are supported for aliases and tags.
 
-#### Run status change
+## Run status change
 <Note>
-- Currently available only in [W&B Multi-tenant Cloud](/platform/hosting/#wb-multi-tenant-cloud).
-- A run with **Killed** status cannot trigger an automation. This status indicates that the run was stopped forcibly by an admin user.
+Currently available only in [W&B Multi-tenant Cloud](/platform/hosting/#wb-multi-tenant-cloud).

 </Note>
 
-Trigger a workflow based on a logged value for a metric, either a metric in a run's history or a [system metric](/models/ref/python/experiments/system-metrics) such as `cpu`, which tracks the percentage of CPU utilization. W&B logs system metrics automatically every 15 seconds.
+In a project, an automation can start when a logged value for a metric meets a given threshold or changes by a given threshold. A [system metric](/models/ref/python/experiments/system-metrics), such as `cpu`, can trigger an automation. W&B logs system metrics automatically every 15 seconds.
 
 You can create a run metrics automation from the project's **Automations** tab or directly from a line plot panel in a workspace.
 
 To set up a run metric automation, you configure how to compare the metric's value with the threshold you specify. Your choices depend on the event type and on any filters you specify.
