Triggers

Triggers are the starting point of your Workflow. They define when a Workflow should start running. This can be scheduled, when a user clicks a button, or when a Provider event was triggered. Triggers are essential for automating processes within your Project.

Types​

  • Superflow Triggers: These are triggered from within Superflow and are categorized as Backend Triggers.
  • Client Triggers: These are triggered from within the user's session and are categorized as Frontend Triggers.
  • Provider Triggers: These are triggered from within a connected Provider and are categorized as Backend Triggers.
