Description
Blazars exhibit strong variability, and abrupt changes in their flux are observed at high energies down to hour-, or even minute-time scales. Regular monitoring and prompt identication of these variations is key to organise quick follow-up observations. Thanks to its allsky monitoring capabilities, the Fermi-LAT is a very powerful instrument to survey the high energy sky and reveal such bursts. In this contribution, an automatic pipeline - FLaapLUC (Fermi-LAT automatic aperture photometry Light C<->Urve) - aiming at quickly providing alerts on variable activity in blazars is described, and applications to trigger ToO campaigns with H.E.S.S. are described.
