Triggers & Events
Start workflows automatically based on schedules, webhooks, or external events.
Note:
Triggers & Events functionality is coming soon.
Triggers & Events allow you to start workflows automatically based on schedules, incoming webhooks, or external events.
Trigger Types
Scheduled (Cron)
Run workflows on a schedule:
- Daily reports at 9 AM
- Weekly data processing
- Monthly cleanup tasks
- Custom cron expressions
Webhooks
Start workflows from external HTTP requests:
- Receive data from third-party services
- React to form submissions
- Process incoming notifications
- API-triggered automation
Event-Driven
React to events from integrated systems:
- New file uploaded
- Database record changed
- Message received
- Custom events
How Triggers Work
- Configure — Set up the trigger type and conditions
- Connect — Link the trigger to a workflow
- Activate — Enable the trigger
- Monitor — Track trigger executions
Webhook Configuration
When setting up webhooks:
- Unique endpoint URL generated for each webhook
- Optional authentication (API key, signature verification)
- Payload mapping to workflow inputs
- Retry configuration for failed deliveries
