In today's fast-paced digital landscape, the ability to react and respond in real-time is paramount for business success. Traditional workflow automation often relies on manual triggers or rigid schedules. But what if your workflows could automatically start the moment a relevant event occurs? This is the power of event-based automation, and Triggers.do is designed to make it simple and powerful.
At its core, event-based automation is about making your business processes responsive. Instead of passively waiting or relying on scheduled checks, processes are initiated automatically when a specific event happens in any of your connected systems. Think of it like setting up a system where, as soon as a customer places a high-value order, your fulfillment workflow immediately begins – no delay, no manual intervention.
This approach allows you to build real-time workflows and agentic workflows that can react dynamically to changes in your data and external environments.
Triggers.do is a comprehensive platform built specifically for event-based process automation. It provides the tools you need to define, manage, and execute workflows based on incoming events from virtually any source.
Here's how it works:
Let's look at the example provided in the code snippet:
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 defines a trigger named "New Order Created". It's configured to listen for an order.created event originating from an ecommerce-platform source. Critically, it only fires if the amount in the event data is greater than 100 and the priority is high. When these conditions are met, the specified handler function is executed. In this case, the handler is set to initiate a workflow with the ID 'order-processing', passing along the event data.
This simple example illustrates how you can set up a responsive system where high-value orders are immediately flagged and pushed into a dedicated processing workflow, all automatically initiated by the order.created event.
Implementing event-based automation with Triggers.do is a practical step towards building more responsive and efficient business operations. By leveraging the power of event triggers, you can automate intricate processes, improve reaction times, and free up valuable resources.
