# Network Automations

> Run SSH commands on network devices automatically based on triggers — device reconnect, tunnel offline, schedule, or webhook.

Network automations let you SSH into a device through a ProxyLink tunnel and run commands automatically, based on a trigger.

## Use cases

* Run a command when a tunnel goes offline
* Run `show vlan` on a Cisco switch when it reconnects after a power outage
* Scheduled config backup every night
* Trigger a script from your RMM via webhook

## Supported triggers

| Trigger               | When it fires                                              |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **On reconnect**      | When the device's WireGuard tunnel reconnects              |
| **On tunnel offline** | When the device's WireGuard tunnel loses its handshake     |
| **Scheduled**         | At a specific time (cron-style)                            |
| **Manual**            | Click "Run" from the automation list                       |
| **Webhook**           | An external system (NinjaRMM, Zabbix, Grafana) calls a URL |

## Cisco IOS support

Automations support Cisco enable mode. Set an `enable_password` on the device connection to escalate privileges before running commands.

**Confirmed working:** Cisco Catalyst WS-C3750G — `show vlan` via automation.

## Output and alerting

Automation output is stored and viewable in the dashboard. Configure an alert channel to receive the output via Slack, Teams, or webhook when an automation fires.
