The triggered action facility enables you to run scripts based upon conditions/alerts that are detected within your storage environment. Scheduled actions in the Data Manager > Policy Management node enables you to run scripts according to the schedule that you define, without having to associate the script with an alert.
Both the triggered action and scheduled action facilities are script-based, allowing you to use any third-party tools for actions.
