Summary

A new Workato connector for Octopus Deploy enhances workflow automation possibilities by enabling seamless integration between Octopus Deploy and various platforms through a low-code/no-code visual designer. Workato, an enterprise Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS), allows users to construct workflows and automate processes across hundreds of systems by using Ruby-based connectors defined as JSON configurations. This connector supports a multitude of actions, such as creating and deploying releases, managing resources, and triggering events, thus facilitating quick implementations needed by IT, product, and business operations teams. Users can initiate workflows in Workato by installing the Octopus connector, establishing an API key, and setting up a connection to their Octopus Deploy instance. Examples of possible workflows include notifying a Slack channel of Octopus events and integrating ServiceNow, Jenkins, and Octopus Deploy for approval and release processes. The flexibility of Workato allows for extensive customization of workflows to suit team needs, enhancing post-deployment updates to systems like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Jira.
