You can use Laboperator Automations to automate behaviors globally and independently from a specific Workflow. Based on certain triggers (e.g. a Resource is opened) different actions can be executed (e.g. a Webhook is executed to update Workflow runs in a Collection).  

Note: This feature is currently in a beta phase and therefore no documentation about the YML scripting is available yet. Please contact your account manager if you need further information. Furthermore, the automation feature has to be activated by an organizational administrator on the Server Administration level.
