NSE7 Enterprise Firewall and VDOMs Practice Question
An administrator uses FortiManager automation stitches to respond to an incident. The stitch includes a trigger, one or more actions, and conditions. Which THREE components are valid action types in an automation stitch?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse 'remote script execution' with local device actions like reboot, or assume FortiAnalyzer integration is an action type, when in fact automation stitches only support CLI scripts, remote scripts, and email notifications as valid action types.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
CLI script execution
CLI script execution is a valid action type in FortiManager automation stitches because it allows the administrator to run a predefined CLI script on a managed FortiGate device directly from the stitch. This enables automated configuration changes or troubleshooting commands in response to a trigger, such as blocking an IP address after an intrusion detection event.
