In today's fast-paced digital landscape, businesses are constantly seeking ways to optimize operations, reduce manual effort, and ensure swift responses to critical events. This pursuit often leads to the adoption of sophisticated automation tools. However, true efficiency isn't just about automating tasks; it's about automating their initiation. This is where Triggers.do shines, empowering you to embrace event-driven automation and seamlessly kickstart your Agentic workflows based on real-time occurrences.
At its core, an effective workflow trigger is a carefully defined condition or event that, when met, automatically initiates a predefined business process or action. Think of it as the ultimate "if this, then that" mechanism for your entire operation.
For instance, consider a new order coming into your e-commerce platform. Instead of a human manually checking and initiating the fulfillment process, an event-driven trigger can instantly:
This is just one example, but the possibilities are endless.
Traditional automation often relies on scheduled tasks or manual prompts. While useful, these approaches lack the real-time responsiveness needed for truly agile operations. Event-driven architecture, on the other hand, allows your systems to react instantly to changes, leading to:
Triggers.do is designed from the ground up to make defining and managing these crucial event triggers intuitive and powerful. As an integral part of the .do platform, an AI-powered Agentic Workflow Platform for building Business-as-Code, Triggers.do provides the backbone for intelligently orchestrating your business processes.
Let's look at how straightforward it is to define a trigger using Triggers.do:
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',
priority: 'high'
},
handler: async (event) => {
// Process the event and start workflows
return {
workflowId: 'order-processing',
data: event.data
};
}
});
In this example, we're defining a trigger named "New Order Created." It listens for an order.created event originating from our ecommerce-platform. Crucially, we've also added a filter to only activate the trigger if the order amount is greater than 100 and its priority is 'high'. This demonstrates a key best practice: granularity in filtering.
