This is an IBM Automation portal for Cloud Management, Technology Cost Management, Network Automation and AIOps products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Why is it useful? - Right now RBA allows no custom conditional logic to chain together runbooks/automations, which is handy to build end-to-end automation workflow.
Who would benefit from it? - All customers of RBA, everyone would be able to build more powerful end-to-end automation workflows.
How should it work? - In the GUI editor it could prompt for certain conditionals/loops which you can use to chain them together - could work with automations and/or runbooks.
Example:
Runbook: System Maintenance
Automation 1: Logged In Users
Automation 2: Restart DB
execute runbook > execute automation 1 > returns code 4 > don't execute automation 2
In the example above, when executing the runbook if the first runbook returns a certain status code we can conditonally decide not to restart the DB as it would affect logged in users - this would give more flexibility in building automation workflows.
