# Workflows Workflows turn a monitor alert into a one-click action. Instead of manually deciding what to do each time an alert fires, you configure a workflow once and it appears as a button on every matching alert, ready for anyone with access to run it. Each workflow runs one or more [**plugins**](/guides/workflows/setting-up-a-workflow.md#plugins), which are the individual actions the workflow takes (for example, sending a notification email). In this release, workflows are triggered manually from monitor alerts, and the available plugin is [**Send Email**](/guides/workflows/setting-up-a-workflow.md#send-email). ## How Notification Workflows Fit into Control Tower Notification workflows sit on top of: * **Inventory:** where assets, ownership, and health are defined * **Monitors & Alerts:** where issues are detected (unused, orphaned, failed refresh, etc.) They act as the execution layer that ensures these signals lead to action. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
