- Share the returned inventory in a familiar channel.
- Reduce manual account checks.

Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow create or change databases?
No. It lists database clusters and shares a summary.
Can it compare current clusters with last month's list?
Only if the prior baseline is supplied or otherwise available to the automation. The list action itself does not provide that history.
