In today's fast-paced digital landscape, meeting and exceeding customer expectations is paramount. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is by responding to customer interactions in real-time and automating workflows based on those events. This is where event-driven automation, and platforms like Triggers.do, shine.
Event-driven automation is an architectural pattern where processes and workflows are initiated in response to specific events occurring within a system. Instead of relying on scheduled tasks or manual intervention, event-driven systems react instantly to changes, data updates, or user actions.
Think about an event like a customer completing a purchase on your e-commerce site. Without event automation, you might have a batched process that runs later to send a thank you email. With event automation, that email can be triggered and sent the moment the order is confirmed, providing an immediate touchpoint and enhancing the customer experience.
Triggers.do is designed to be the core of your event-driven workflow automation strategy. It acts as a central hub for receiving events from various sources and intelligently initiating the right workflows based on those events.
Here's how it works:
Define Your Triggers: Using a simple and intuitive interface or SDKs like the one shown below, you define triggers that listen for specific events. You can specify the event type, the source of the event, and even apply powerful filters to ensure workflows are only triggered under specific conditions.
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
};
}
});
This example shows a trigger named "New Order Created" that listens for an order.created event specifically from the ecommerce-platform source. It also includes a filter to only trigger if the order amount is greater than 100 and has a priority of 'high'.
Connect Your Sources: Triggers.do can integrate with a wide range of event sources, including your e-commerce platform, CRM, internal systems, IoT devices, and more. This allows you to capture events from everywhere your business operates.
Trigger Your Workflows: When an event arrives that matches a defined and filtered trigger, Triggers.do takes action. This action is typically initiating a specific workflow or process. These workflows can be anything from sending an automated email or SMS, updating a database, initiating a fulfillment process, or even triggering more complex, interconnected business processes.
The power of Triggers.do lies in its ability to enable real-time responses, which directly impacts the customer experience:
Triggers.do is built as part of the .do platform, an AI-powered Agentic Workflow Platform. This integration allows you to effortlessly start your Agentic workflows based on real-time events captured by Triggers.do. Agentic workflows, powered by AI and designed for complex decision-making and actions, can be seamlessly initiated by events, enabling a new level of intelligent automation.
Automating workflow initiation based on real-time events is a game-changer for businesses looking to enhance customer experience and improve operational efficiency.
