Introduction to StackStorm

Description
This course will guide you through the introduction to StackStorm and discuss the elements of a StackStorm integration pack. You will learn about packs and the file structure of the pack. Rules that tie events to actions that can be triggered with webhooks, sensors, or interval timers. Sensors, that can watch other systems for events and load triggers. Actions, the workhorse of StackStorm, take action upon other systems using rest api's. These actions can be just a single action of a complete, complex workflow.
