NSE7 Enterprise Firewall and VDOMs Practice Question
A FortiManager administrator wants to use automation stitches to respond to a specific security event on managed FortiGates. Which THREE components are required to build an automation stitch? (Select THREE.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse FortiView or ADOM as required components because they are frequently used in FortiManager workflows, but they are not part of the automation stitch's three mandatory building blocks.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Trigger
An automation stitch in FortiManager requires three core components: a Trigger (the event that starts the stitch), a Route (a conditional path that determines which actions to execute based on the trigger's output), and an Action (the actual response, such as a CLI script or object change). Without these three, the stitch cannot function as a complete automation workflow.
