In today's fast-paced digital landscape, responsiveness is key. Businesses need to react instantly to changes, whether it's a new customer order, an updated CRM record, or data from an IoT device. Traditional automation often relies on scheduled tasks or manual triggers, leading to delays and missed opportunities. Enter event-based workflow automation, a powerful paradigm shift that allows your business processes to react in real-time as events happen.
This is where Triggers.do shines. It's a comprehensive platform designed specifically for event-based process automation, empowering you to automatically initiate workflows based on events flowing from any system. Imagine workflows that start the moment a new lead is created, or when a customer updates their profile, or when a sensor reads a critical value. This is the power of Triggers.do.
The core concept of Triggers.do is simple yet revolutionary: start workflows when events happen. Instead of waiting for scheduled checks, Triggers.do listens for specific events emitted by your various systems. When a matching event occurs, it instantly initiates a pre-defined workflow, ensuring your business reacts with agility and precision. This creates responsive business processes that react to changes in real-time.
Here's how it works at a high level:
Think of it like a digital nervous system for your business, where events are the signals and workflows are the automated responses.
One of the key strengths of event-based automation with Triggers.do is the ability to leverage the wealth of data contained within events. Every event carries context – details about what happened, when it happened, and relevant data points. Triggers.do allows you to seamlessly pass this event data to your workflows, enabling them to make smarter decisions and perform more targeted actions.
Consider a "new order created" event from your e-commerce platform. This event might contain data like the customer details, the items ordered, the total amount, shipping information, and more. With Triggers.do, you can:
This data-driven approach ensures your automation is not just reactive, but also intelligent and contextually aware.
Triggers.do goes beyond simply reacting to any event. It provides robust filtering capabilities, allowing you to define conditions that must be met for a workflow to be triggered. This means you can ensure that workflows are only initiated for events that are truly relevant and require action.
Let's look at a simplified example using the Triggers.do code snippet:
import { Trigger } from 'triggers.do';
const newOrderTrigger = new Trigger({
name: 'New Order Created',
description: 'Triggers when a new order is created in the system',
event: 'order.created',
source: 'ecommerce-platform',
filter: {
condition: 'amount > 100', // Only trigger for orders over $100
priority: 'high'
},
handler: async (event) => {
// Process the event and start workflows
return {
workflowId: 'order-processing', // Start the order-processing workflow
data: event.data // Pass the event data to the workflow
};
}
});
In this example, the filter object is crucial. It specifies that this trigger should only fire for order.created events originating from the ecommerce-platform and where the amount property in the event data is greater than 100. This allows you to segment your automation, ensuring higher-value orders receive special handling while standard orders follow a different process.
This filtering capability empowers you to create highly granular and efficient automation, preventing unnecessary workflow executions and focusing resources where they are needed most.
Triggers.do is designed to be highly connectable. It supports integrating with a wide range of systems that can emit events, including:
If a system can broadcast an event, Triggers.do can likely connect to it. This broad integration capability makes Triggers.do a central hub for automating processes across your entire technology stack.
As businesses become increasingly reliant on real-time data and dynamic processes, event-based workflow automation with Triggers.do offers a powerful solution. By starting workflows when events happen and leveraging the rich data they contain, you can build smarter, more responsive, and more efficient business processes.

How does Triggers.do work?
Triggers.do works by allowing you to define triggers that listen for specific events from various systems. When a matching event occurs, Triggers.do automatically initiates a pre-defined workflow, ensuring your business processes react in real-time.
What types of systems can Triggers.do integrate with?
Triggers.do supports integrating with a wide range of systems that can emit events, including CRMs, e-commerce platforms, databases, IoT devices, and custom applications. If a system can broadcast an event, Triggers.do can likely connect to it.
Can I filter events to trigger workflows only under specific conditions?
Yes, Triggers.do provides robust filtering capabilities. You can define conditions based on event data to ensure that workflows are only triggered for events that meet specific criteria, such as a certain order value or customer segment.
