System Behavior

Interaction Graph

An interaction graph maps how automated systems, services, and tools interact over time across enterprise environments.

Definition

An interaction graph is a model that represents how systems, services, and automated components interact over time. It visualizes relationships and dependencies between actions across enterprise infrastructure.

Why It Matters

Modern automation rarely acts through a single system. Risk often emerges from the relationships between actions, not only from individual events. Interaction graphs help teams understand hidden operational paths and dependencies.

Example

A support automation flow updates a CRM, writes to a data warehouse, and triggers an alerting platform. The interaction graph shows how one action in one system leads to multiple downstream dependencies.
