Ticketing Action
Ticketing actions execute when a supported trigger condition is met. That happens when an anomaly is detected, or when an anomaly changes to a status the trigger is filtered to. The action then creates a ticket, or updates the status of an existing one, in the connected ticketing integration.
Integration Required
Ticketing actions need a connected ticketing integration. See Ticketing Integrations for the supported trackers and how to connect one.
Why Use a Ticketing Action
Use a Ticketing action when data quality findings should become work items in the tool the team already triages in. Common cases:
- Start the investigation where it will happen: A severe anomaly opens a ticket carrying its context, so triage begins in the tracker instead of in a channel message someone has to copy from.
- Keep the tracker in sync with the anomalies: Pair a Create Ticket Flow with an Update Ticket Status Flow on Anomaly Status Changed, so tickets move when the anomalies resolve.
- Make quality work visible: Tickets put data quality issues on the same board, with the same priorities and owners, as the rest of the team's work.
Announcing the ticket
A notification chained after a Create Ticket or Update Ticket Status action can carry the ticket's details in its message. See Message for the tokens.
Integration Availability
If required ticketing or notification integrations (such as Slack or Microsoft Teams) are unavailable during Flow execution, ticketing actions may not complete successfully. Execution details are logged to assist with troubleshooting and error analysis.
