Create your first agentic workflow

Port's agentic workflows let you automate engineering operations using AI.
A workflow can interact with your tools, make decisions, and take actions - all triggered by a prompt, a scheduled event, or a change in your catalog.

Get inspired​

Browse the demo platform to see what workflows are possible and find one that fits your organization's needs.

Common workflow examples include:

  • Scaffold a new microservice - create a new service repository from a template and register it in Port.
  • Investigate, approve & auto-remediate incidents - triage an incident, identify the root cause, and open a remediation PR - only after the right team approves.
  • Auto-resolve Jira issues with GitHub Copilot - detect new Jira issues, enrich them with catalog context, and hand them off to GitHub Copilot for autonomous resolution.
  • Auto-assign team on service creation - automatically set ownership when a new service entity is created.
  • Notify on critical service degradation - send alerts to the right team when a service's health drops below a threshold.
  • TTL-based environment cleanup - automatically decommission temporary environments after a set time.

See the use-cases & examples page for full workflow definitions.

Create a workflow with Port AI​

The fastest way to create a workflow is to describe it to Port's AI assistant:

  1. Click the button in Port.
  2. Describe the workflow you want to build in plain language.
  3. Review the plan Port AI proposes.
  4. Confirm and let Port set it up.

Example prompts:

Create a workflow that notifies the on-call team in Slack when a service's
error rate exceeds 5% for more than 10 minutes.
When a new GitHub repository is created, automatically create a corresponding
service entity in Port and assign it to the team that owns the repository.

Port AI will ask for any missing context - such as which Slack channel to notify or which team to assign - before finalizing the workflow.

You can also create and edit workflows manually using the visual workflow builder. See the workflows documentation to get started.
