Workflows
Conditions, thresholds, and actions — automated end to end.
Define what matters, set thresholds, and let Fastero handle the follow-through. Workflows check data, evaluate conditions, and route alerts to Slack, email, APIs, and notebook runs — so your team acts on problems instead of discovering them too late.
Workflow capabilities
From data check to routed action in one defined flow.
Workflows sit between triggers and actions. A trigger starts the flow, the workflow evaluates conditions and thresholds, and actions deliver the result to the right place.
Condition-based branching
Define conditions on query results, webhook payloads, or metric values. If revenue drops below a threshold, take one path. If it stays healthy, take another. Workflows branch based on data, not guesswork.
Threshold alerts to Slack and email
When a monitored value crosses a threshold — revenue dips, error rate spikes, pipeline stalls — the workflow sends a formatted alert to Slack or email with the relevant numbers included.
Notebook execution as a workflow step
Run a Jupyter notebook as part of a workflow. Useful for complex analysis that goes beyond a single SQL query — the notebook executes, and its output feeds the next step in the chain.
Downstream API calls
Call external APIs as workflow actions. Update a CRM record, create a Jira ticket, post to a webhook, or push data to Google Sheets. The workflow handles authentication and error retries.
Multi-step action chains
Chain multiple actions in sequence: run a query, check the result against a threshold, send a Slack alert, then update a tracking spreadsheet. Each step can pass data to the next.
Trigger integration
Workflows are activated by triggers — cron schedules, inbound webhooks, or data-change detection. The trigger starts the workflow; the workflow handles the logic and routing.
When to use workflows
Replace the manual checks your team runs every day.
Revenue and pipeline monitoring
Build a workflow that checks daily bookings against target, and alerts the revenue team in Slack when the number falls behind pace. Include the gap amount, the accounts that slipped, and a link to the full report.
Operational health checks
Monitor error rates, job completion status, or data freshness. When a data pipeline stalls or an integration stops syncing, the workflow fires an alert before downstream dashboards go stale.
Automated report distribution
Run a notebook that generates a weekly summary, then email the output to stakeholders and post a Slack digest. No one has to remember to pull the report — the workflow handles distribution.
Cross-system data routing
When a trigger detects a new high-value deal in the warehouse, the workflow can update HubSpot, notify the account manager, create a follow-up task in Jira, and log the event to a tracking sheet.
The trigger-workflow-action chain
Triggers start it. Workflows decide. Actions deliver.
A trigger fires (cron, webhook, or data change). The workflow evaluates conditions against the data. If thresholds are met, actions execute: Slack messages, emails, API calls, notebook runs. The entire chain runs without human intervention.
Step 1
Trigger fires
A cron schedule ticks, a webhook arrives, or a monitored query result changes.
Step 2
Workflow evaluates
Conditions check the data against thresholds. Branch logic routes to the right action path.
Step 3
Actions execute
Slack alert, email, API call, notebook run, or any combination — delivered automatically.
