# Create an Orchestration

`POST https://api.pagerduty.com/event_orchestrations`

Create a Global Event Orchestration.

Global Event Orchestrations allow you define a set of Global Rules and Router Rules, so that when you ingest events using the Orchestration's Routing Key your events will have actions applied via the Global Rules & then routed to the correct Service by the Router Rules, based on the event's content.
