    Use this resource to create and manage New Relic Workflow Automation.

    Workflow Automation allows you to define automated workflows using YAML definitions. These workflows can scope to either an account or an organization and support various automation steps and configurations.

    Example Usage

    Basic Workflow Automation with ACCOUNT Scope

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as newrelic from "@pulumi/newrelic";

const testQuery = new newrelic.WorkflowAutomation("test_query", {
    name: "test_query_workflow",

    YAML Definition Structure

    The definition argument accepts a YAML string that defines the workflow’s structure and logic.

    Top-Level Fields

    FieldTypeRequiredDescription
    nameStringYesThe name of the workflow. Must match the name argument in the Terraform resource.
    descriptionStringNoA brief summary of what the workflow does. Recommended for clarity.
    workflowInputsObjectNoA map of input variables that can be passed to the workflow at runtime.
    stepsArrayYesAn ordered array of step objects that define the workflow’s logic.

    Workflow Inputs

    Define inputs to make your workflows more flexible and reusable.

    workflowInputs:
  inputName:
    type: String       # Supported types include: String, Int, Boolean, List, Map
    defaultValue: "value"  # Optional default value for the input
    required: false    # Optional, defaults to true. If true, a value must be provided.
    validations:       # Optional array of validation rules
      - type: regex
        errorMessage: "Custom error message"
        pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$
    • Inputs can reference secrets using the syntax: ${{ :secrets:secretName }}

    Input Validation Types

    Workflow inputs support various validation types to ensure data integrity:

    emailDestinationId:
  type: String
  validations:
    - type: regex
      errorMessage: "Must be a valid UUID"
      pattern: ^[a-fA-F0-9]{8}-([a-fA-F0-9]{4}-){3}[a-fA-F0-9]{12}$
    • Integer Range Validation:
    threshold:
  type: Int
  defaultValue: 5000
  validations:
    - type: minIntValue
      errorMessage: "Minimum value must be at least 100"
      minValue: 100
    - type: maxIntValue
      errorMessage: "Maximum value must be less than 10000"
      maxValue: 10000

    Note: By default, integer variables accept both positive and negative values. If you define a minIntValue validation, the field rejects any value below that threshold. For example, setting minIntValue: 0 prevents negative integers from being entered.

    • List Type:
    skipUsers:
  type: List
  defaultValue:
    - "user1@example.com"
    - "user2@example.com"

    Note: This list is case sensitive.

    Step Types

    Each object in the steps array defines a single unit of work. The primary step types are action, wait, switch, and loop.

    Action Steps

    Executes a specific function, such as querying data or sending a notification.

    • type: action - Defines the step as an action.
      • action - The specific action to execute (example, newrelic.nrdb.query).
      • version - The version of the action to use.
      • inputs - A map of input parameters for the action.

    Example:

      - name: sendLogs
    type: action
    action: newrelic.ingest.sendLogs
    version: '1'
    inputs:
      logs:
        - message: "This is a test log from Workflow Automation"

    Common actions include:

    • newrelic.nrdb.query - Query New Relic database
    • utils.transform.toCSV - Transform data to CSV format
    • slack.chat.postMessage - Send messages to Slack

    Available actions A complete list of available actions, their versions, and required inputs can be found in the Workflow Action Catalog.

    Wait steps

    Pauses the workflow for a specified duration or until it receives a signal.

    • type: wait
      • seconds - The number of seconds to pause.
      • signals - (Optional) An array of signals to wait for. See SignalWorkflowRun for more information
      • next - (Optional) The name of the next step. Use end to terminate the workflow.

    Example:

     - name: wait
    type: wait
    seconds: 15

    Switch steps

    Provides conditional branching logic.

    • type: switch
      • switch - An array of conditions to evaluate in order.
      • condition - A JQ expression that evaluates to true or false.
      • next - The name of the step to execute if the condition is true. The switch block can also have a top-level next field to define the default step if no conditions match.

    Example:

       - name: hasCompleted
    type: switch
    switch:
      - condition: ${{ .steps.waitForCompletion.outputs.status == "Failed" }}
        next: displayError
      - condition: ${{ .steps.waitForCompletion.outputs.status == "Success" }}
        next: displaySuccess

    Loop steps

    Iterates over a set of values and executes a sequence of steps for each iteration.

    • type: loop
      • for.in - A JQ expression that returns an array to iterate over.
      • steps - An array of steps to execute for each iteration. Inside the loop, you can use next: continue to skip to the next iteration or next: break to exit the loop.

    Example:

    - name: loopStep
    type: loop
    for:
      in: ${{ [range(0; 5)] }}
      steps:
        - name: sendLogs
          type: action
          action: newrelic.ingest.sendLogs
          version: '1'
          inputs:
            logs:
              - message: "This is a test log from Workflow Automation"
          next: continue

    Referencing Data in Workflows

    You can dynamically reference data from inputs, secrets, and other steps using JQ-like template expressions.

    Data SourceSyntaxExample
    Workflow Inputs${{ .workflowInputs.inputName }}${{ .workflowInputs.ccuThreshold }}
    Step Outputs${{ .steps.stepName.outputs.fieldName }}${{ .steps.query1.outputs.results }}
    Loop Elements${{ .steps.loopStepName.loop.element }}${{ .steps.loopStep1.loop.element.email }}
    Secrets${{ :secrets:secretName }}${{ :secrets:myApiKey }}

    Example YAML Structure

    Simple workflow with query and wait:

    name: example-workflow
description: Query logs and wait
steps:
  - name: queryNrdb
    type: action
    action: newrelic.nrdb.query
    version: 1
    inputs:
      query: SELECT count(*) from Log LIMIT 10
  - name: wait
    type: wait
    seconds: 5
    next: end

    Advanced workflow with inputs and multiple actions:

    name: advanced-workflow
workflowInputs:
  accountId:
    type: String
  query:
    type: String
steps:
  - name: runQuery
    type: action
    action: newrelic.nrdb.query
    version: 1
    inputs:
      accountIds: "${{ .workflowInputs.accountId }}"
      query: "${{ .workflowInputs.query }}"
  - name: transformData
    type: action
    action: utils.transform.toCSV
    version: 1
    inputs:
      data: '${{ .steps.runQuery.outputs.results }}'

    WorkflowAutomation Resource Properties

    To learn more about resource properties and how to use them, see Inputs and Outputs in the Architecture and Concepts docs.

    Inputs

    In Python, inputs that are objects can be passed either as argument classes or as dictionary literals.

    The WorkflowAutomation resource accepts the following input properties:

    Definition string

    Name Consistency

    The name field in the Terraform resource must match the name field in the YAML definition. If they don’t match, Terraform will return an error during terraform validate, plan, or apply.

    Example Error Message:

    Error: name in resource configuration (my-workflow) does not match name in YAML definition (my-new-workflow). The name field in your YAML must match the resource name

    For example, this configuration is correct:

    Scope type

    • ACCOUNT - The workflow automation is scoped to a specific New Relic account. Use your numeric account ID as the scopeId.
    • ORGANIZATION - The workflow automation is scoped to your entire New Relic organization. Use your organization ID string as the scopeId.

    See, Create accounts and organizations on how to create an account or an organization.

    ForceNew attributes

    The following attributes, when changed, will force creation of a new resource :

    • name - Changing the workflow name creates a new resource.
    • scopeId - Changing the scope ID creates a new resource.
    • scopeType - Changing between ACCOUNT and ORGANIZATION creates a new resource.

    YAML validation

    The provider validates the YAML definition during plan-and-apply operations:

    • The YAML must be valid and parsable.
    • The name field must be present in the YAML.
    • The name in the YAML must match the Terraform resource name.

    Invalid YAML or missing required fields will result in an error.

    Example YAML validation errors:

    YAML Validation Error

    1. waitStep has invalid type “waitAgain”. Valid types are: action, loop, switch, wait, assign

    2. Workflow definition names can not be changed.

    Versioning

    Each time you update the definition of a workflow automation, New Relic automatically increments the version attribute. This allows you to track changes to your workflow automation over time.
