Adds documentation for the global Automations hub and expands Automations docs to cover Organization- and Team-scoped automations, including where to create them, what events are available at broader scopes, and how to view execution history.

Changes:

  • Introduces the Automations hub concept and updates “where to find/create” guidance to include hub-based workflows.
  • Adds Organization/Team scope definitions and event availability details (including rate limiting/cooldown note).
  • Updates Slack/Webhook automation creation docs and automation history docs to reflect hub + broader scopes.

  • Typo: "webhoook" should be "webhook".
- At the **Team** and **Organization** scopes, the W&B App supports only artifact and collection events. Run-based events aren't available in the App at these scopes. See [Automation events and scopes](/models/automations/automation-events).

## Next steps
- [Automations tutorial](/models/automations/tutorial): Guides you to create a project automation to alert on run failures and a Registry automation to run a webhoook when an alias is added. The tutorial uses the W&B App.

## Limitations
[Run metric automations](/models/automations/automation-events/#run-metrics-events) and [run metrics z-score change automations](/models/automations/automation-events/#run-metrics-z-score-change-automations) are currently supported only in [W&B Multi-tenant Cloud](/platform/hosting/#wb-multi-tenant-cloud).

Good catch — these were pre-existing broken anchors that I inherited when I reworked this line. Fixed in a7f01cb: #run-metrics-events#run-metrics-change and #run-metrics-z-score-change-automations#run-metrics-z-score-change (both now resolve; mint broken-links passes clean). Also fixed the "webhoook" typo you flagged in Next steps.

Automation history is available for automations at any scope. From the global **Automations** hub in the left navigation, click an automation's name to view its execution history alongside its configuration, including for Team-scoped and Organization-scoped automations. See [Automations hub](/models/automations#automations-hub).

You can also view history from a registry's or project's **Automations** tab. Select the **Registry** or **Project** tab for detailed instructions.

Agreed. Reworded in a7f01cb to lead with the registry/project tabs ("On any deployment type…") and gate the hub guidance to Multi-tenant Cloud and Dedicated Cloud (Server v0.83.0 and later), since the Automations hub isn't on Self-Managed yet even though execution history is.

Comment on lines +8 to +14
An automation can start when a specific event occurs within an Organization, a Team, a Registry, a Registry collection, or a project. This page describes the events that can trigger an automation within each scope, so you can choose the right trigger when you configure an automation. Learn more about automations in the [Automations overview](/models/automations) or [Create an automation](/models/automations/create-automations).

Scopes are hierarchical: an Organization contains Teams, which contain projects and registries, which contain collections. An automation observes its event across everything in its scope, including projects, registries, and collections created later. A single event can match automations at more than one scope. Each matching automation triggers independently.

<Note>
To protect against excessive triggering at broad scopes, W&B applies a rate limit and a cooldown per automation. These safeguards can delay or skip repeated triggers of the same automation.

Added in a7f01cb: an availability note on this page stating the Team and Organization scopes are available on Multi-tenant Cloud and Dedicated Cloud (Server v0.83.0+), while Registry and Project scopes are available on all deployment types.
