How Triggers.do Turns Events into Action: The Power of Workflow Triggers

Imagine your business processes running themselves, reacting instantly to new information and changes across your systems. No more manual checks or delays waiting for someone to kick off the next step. This is the power of event-based workflow automation, and it's exactly what Triggers.do delivers.

Forget the complexity of traditional automation platforms. Triggers.do is designed to be the comprehensive solution for initiating your workflows automatically, precisely when and how you need them to.

Start Workflows When Events Happen

The core concept is simple yet transformative: automatically initiate workflows based on events from any connected system. This allows you to create responsive business processes that react to changes in real-time, ensuring your operations are always aligned with reality.

Whether it's a new customer signing up, an order status changing, data being updated in a spreadsheet, or a notification from an external service, Triggers.do listens for these events and takes action.

Why Event-Based Automation?

Traditional workflow automation often relies on scheduled tasks or manual triggers. While effective for some scenarios, this approach lacks the agility needed in today's fast-paced digital environment. Event-based automation offers significant advantages:

• Real-time Responsiveness: React instantly to changes, enabling faster operations and better customer experiences.
• Increased Efficiency: Eliminate manual steps and delays associated with waiting for scheduled runs or human intervention.
• Enhanced Accuracy: Reduce errors by automating actions based on precise event data and conditions.
• Scalability: Easily handle fluctuating workloads as workflows are initiated only when necessary.

How Triggers.do Makes it Happen

Triggers.do acts as the central nervous system for your automated processes. It allows you to define specific rules that, when an event occurs, will trigger your chosen workflow.

Here's a glimpse of how straightforward it is to define a trigger:

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', // The specific event to listen for
  source: 'ecommerce-platform', // The system where the event originates
  filter: { // Optional conditions to refine when the trigger activates
    condition: 'amount > 100',
    priority: 'high'
  },
  handler: async (event) => {
    // Process the event and start workflows
    return {
      workflowId: 'order-processing', // The workflow to initiate
      data: event.data // Pass relevant event data to the workflow
    };
  }
});

This simple definition tells Triggers.do to listen for an order.created event specifically from ecommerce-platform. It then adds a filter: the trigger only activates if the order amount is greater than 100 and the priority is 'high'. Finally, upon activation, it executes the handler function, which in this case, initiates the workflow with the ID order-processing and passes the event data along.

Key Capabilities of Triggers.do

• Flexible Event Sources: Connect to a wide range of systems and applications through APIs, webhooks, and pre-built connectors to receive event data.
• Granular Filtering: Define custom conditions based on event data to ensure triggers only activate when specific criteria are met.
• Seamless Workflow Integration: Easily initiate your existing or new workflows within the Triggers.do platform.
• Real-time Monitoring: Keep track of trigger activity and workflow initiations with comprehensive monitoring tools.

AI Without Complexity

Triggers.do is built with the philosophy of AI without complexity. While it powers sophisticated event-driven and potentially agentic workflows, the platform itself is intuitive and easy to configure. You don't need to be a data scientist to leverage the power of real-time process automation.
