Configuring Inbound and Outbound Actions

The Integration Platform allows you to configure vFire Core to perform actions to exchange information between your vFire Core system, and a third party application or source for, say, communicating with a supplier’s service desk management system to assist in the resolution of an incident, or the completion of a workflow. The communication between vFire Core and the source about an action is enabled through messages.

The integration of inbound and outbound actions shares similarities with Event Management but is not limited to the handling of event alerts. Furthermore, actions can be initiated both by vFire Core and the external application.
