Event Data: The Fuel for Intelligent Process Automation

Imagine a world where your business processes don't just sit idle, waiting for a manual nudge, but instead spring into action the moment something relevant happens. That's the power of event-based workflow automation, and at its core lies event data.

At Triggers.do, we understand that the static, scheduled approach to automation is outdated. In today's fast-paced digital landscape, businesses need to be responsive and agile. This is where event triggers come into play, acting as the sparks that ignite your workflow initiation.

What is Event-Based Automation?

Think of event-based automation as building a system that reacts dynamically to changes in real-time. Instead of relying on fixed schedules or manual intervention, your processes are initiated by events – specific occurrences within any system.

An "event" could be anything from a new customer order being placed, a database record being updated, a sensor reading exceeding a certain threshold, or even an email arriving. When these events happen, Triggers.do is listening, ready to act.

How Triggers.do Fuels Real-Time Processes

Triggers.do is designed specifically for this kind of real-time automation. Our platform allows you to define triggers that are constantly monitoring various systems for relevant events.

Here's a simplified look at how it works:

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 data
    console.log(`New order event received: ${JSON.stringify(event.data)}`);

    // Initiate the relevant workflow based on the event data
    return {
      workflowId: 'order-processing', // Start the "order-processing" workflow
      data: event.data // Pass the order data to the workflow
    };
  }
});

This example shows how you can define a trigger that listens for an order.created event from an ecommerce-platform. But it doesn't stop there! You can add powerful filters to ensure your workflows are only triggered under specific conditions, like in this case, only for orders exceeding $100.

When a matching event occurs, the handler function is executed. This function processes the event data and then, crucially, initiates a pre-defined workflow. This is where the process orchestration happens – Triggers.do seamlessly connects the event to the appropriate automated process.

The Benefits of Event-Driven Workflows

By adopting an event-based approach with Triggers.do, your business can achieve:

• Increased Efficiency: Eliminate manual steps and delays by automating processes as soon as the initiating event occurs.
• Improved Responsiveness: React instantly to critical changes, allowing you to address customer needs, mitigate risks, and seize opportunities in real-time.
• Enhanced Agility: Easily adapt your workflows to changing business needs by simply defining new triggers and logic.
• Better Integration: Connect disparate systems and data sources by using events as the common language for communication and workflow automation.
• Scalability: As your business grows and the volume of events increases, Triggers.do can scale to handle the demand.
