Go Beyond Scheduled Tasks: Achieve Business Agility with Real-Time Event Automation

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, businesses need to be more agile and responsive than ever before. Relying solely on scheduled tasks and manual interventions can lead to delays, missed opportunities, and inefficient processes. What if your business could react instantly to critical events, automatically kicking off the right workflows precisely when they need to happen?

This is the power of event-based workflow automation, and it's precisely what Triggers.do delivers. Forget waiting for the next scheduled batch process or relying on someone to manually initiate a task. Triggers.do enables your workflows to start automatically the moment an event occurs, creating truly responsive business processes.

What is Event-Based Workflow Automation?

Traditional workflow automation often relies on time-based triggers (like a daily schedule) or manual initiation. Event-based automation, on the other hand, listens for specific occurrences – an "event" – within your systems. This could be:

• A new customer order placed in your e-commerce platform.
• A lead status change in your CRM.
• Data updated in a database.
• An alert triggered by an IoT device.
• A file uploaded to cloud storage.

When one of these events happens, Triggers.do acts as the intelligent listener, processing the event and automatically initiating the relevant workflow.

How Triggers.do Puts You in Control of Real-Time Automation

Triggers.do is a comprehensive platform designed to make event-based workflow automation accessible and powerful. Here's how it works:

• Listen for Events: Define triggers that connect to various systems (CRMs, e-commerce, custom apps, etc.) to listen for specific events.
• Filter with Precision: Don't trigger every time! Use robust filtering capabilities to specify conditions based on event data. Only events that meet your criteria will initiate a workflow. This allows for tailored responses.
• Initiate Workflows: When a qualifying event occurs, Triggers.do automatically initiates a pre-defined workflow. This could be anything from sending a welcome email to a new customer to triggering a complex order fulfillment process.

Imagine the difference this makes:

• Sales: A high-value lead fills out a contact form. Triggers.do detects the lead.created event and immediately starts a high-priority follow-up sequence, notifying the sales team and creating a task.
• E-commerce: A customer places an order over a specific value. Triggers.do observes the order.created event, filters for the value threshold, and automatically initiates a workflow for personalized order confirmation and potentially flags it for expedited shipping.
• Operations: A critical change is detected in your inventory system. Triggers.do picks up the inventory.updated event for a specific item and triggers a notification to the operations team and potentially initiates a reorder process.

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 code example illustrates how easily you can define a trigger in Triggers.do to listen for a 'order.created' event specifically from your 'ecommerce-platform'. The filter further refines this, ensuring the workflow is only triggered if the order amount is greater than 100.
