Reduce Latency and Increase Efficiency with Real-Time Workflows

In today's fast-paced business environment, waiting for manual intervention or batch processing can lead to delays, missed opportunities, and increased costs. Businesses need to be agile and responsive, and that requires real-time workflows that react instantly to changing conditions.

What if your business processes could start the moment relevant events happen? No more waiting for the nightly sync or manual data entry. Imagine an e-commerce order instantly triggering fulfillment, a support ticket automatically assigning to the right agent, or a sensor reading initiating a maintenance request.

This is the power of event-based workflow automation.

Start Workflows When Events Happen with Triggers.do

Triggers.do is a comprehensive platform designed to help you build these responsive, event-driven processes. Our core concept is simple yet powerful: automatically initiate workflows based on events from any system.

Instead of relying on scheduled tasks or human triggers, Triggers.do constantly listens for predefined events across your connected applications. When an event occurs that matches your criteria, it automatically initiates the relevant workflow.

Here's how it works:

1. Define Your Triggers: Within Triggers.do, you define "triggers." A trigger is essentially a listener configured to detect specific events from a designated source.
2. Specify Events and Sources: Connect Triggers.do to your various systems (CRM, ERP, databases, IoT devices, third-party services, etc.) via APIs, webhooks, or pre-built connectors. Specify the exact events you want to monitor (e.g., order.created, invoice.paid, status.changed).
3. Set Conditions and Filters: Not every event should trigger a workflow. You can define filters within your triggers to ensure workflows only run when specific criteria within the event data are met. For example, only trigger an order processing workflow if the amount > 100.
4. Initiate Workflows: When a qualifying event occurs, Triggers.do automatically initiates the designated workflow, passing relevant data from the event.

Example Trigger Definition (using our developer-friendly interface or code):

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 simple trigger listens for order.created events from your ecommerce-platform. If the order amount is greater than 100 and the priority is high, it will automatically initiate the order-processing workflow, passing the order details.
