Native automation where your data lives

Elastic Workflows is the native automation engine built into the Elasticsearch Platform. It provides reliable, scripted automation for straightforward tasks and AI-driven automation to solve complex problems that require human-like reasoning. Trigger actions from events, schedules, or on-demand requests. No external tools or messy integrations required.

Guided Demo

One engine for reliable logic and AI reasoning

Execute defined tasks with precision. Reason through the unknown. Workflows do both, exactly where your data lives.

Workflows

Elastic Workflows combines scripted automation with AI reasoning natively in Elasticsearch. Let's see how it works.

For Developers: Interact with external systems with Workflows as tools.

For SOC Analysts: Automate triage with precision. Let AI investigate when the playbook runs out.

For SREs: Delegate the heavy lifting to a custom AI Agent that uses native workflows as tools.

DIFFERENTIATORS

Elastic Workflows: Data, context, and action unified

Stop making trade-offs. Your automation shouldn't live apart from your data, and you shouldn't have to choose between predictable execution and flexible reasoning. Elastic Workflows unifies your automation and data on a single platform. Eliminate integration headaches and simplify your architecture, while ensuring your automation is both intelligent and dependable.

SIMPLIFIED ARCHITECTURE

Automation where your data lives

Eliminate brittle integrations and separate data controls by running automation directly inside Elasticsearch to simplify architecture and achieve faster outcomes.

INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION

Reliability meets reasoning

Use the right tool for the task: scripted automation for defined tasks or AI agents for human-like reasoning.

AI AGENTS THAT ACT

From AI answers to AI actions

Transform passive AI into active operators. Integrated with Agent Builder, Workflows empowers agents to execute real actions — like restarting servers — moving beyond text to drive results.

Workflows that work for any use case

From intelligent reasoning to reliable action: Power your Security, SRE, and Dev teams with native workflows that go beyond just finding problems to solving them.

For Developers

Agents can reason, but they need a way to act reliably. Expose workflows as tools, and use agents to query systems, update records, and trigger processes with predictable execution. Stop building chatbots that just talk and start building AI applications that actually work.

For SOC Analysts

Investigation starts the moment an alert fires. Enrich findings with context from threat intelligence and internal systems. Attach artifacts to cases. Coordinate notifications. Execute response actions. Now, work that used to require manual effort can be handled automatically so analysts focus on decisions, not data gathering.

For SREs

Correlate signals from logs, metrics, and traces automatically. Escalate known failure patterns. Orchestrate remediation steps. When the situation doesn't match a known pattern, call an agent to analyze recent changes and surface likely causes. Structured automation handles the known path. AI reasoning helps surface likely root causes.

ONE ENGINE, EVERY WORKFLOW

From data to action in one platform

Automate routine steps and reason through the unknown without ever leaving Elastic.

Precise operations at scale

Standardize your operations with reliable, scripted automation. From high-frequency tasks to complex logic and parallel paths, build workflows that execute exactly as defined every time — eliminating manual effort with enterprise-scale reliability.

Agentic automation

Through bi-directional integration with Elastic Agent Builder, Workflows can call on AI agents to think, interpret, and adapt to unknown situations that require human-like reasoning.

Ecosystem integration

Connect your Workflows to external systems like Slack, Jira, and ServiceNow to synchronize context and trigger automated responses across your entire environment from a single point of control.

Flexible event-driven triggers

Automation can be initiated through a variety of triggers, including real-time Elastic alerts (security detections or observability anomalies), recurring schedules (interval or cron-based), manual user action, or external webhooks.

Automation as code

Manage your automation with the same rigor as your software. With YAML-based authoring, your workflows are portable, versionable, and ready for a GitOps-driven world.
