Top 5 Use Cases for Event-Based Workflow Automation with Triggers.do

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, efficiency is key. Business process automation has become essential for organizations looking to streamline operations, reduce manual tasks, and accelerate growth. A crucial element of effective automation is the ability to react instantly to real-time events. This is where event-based workflow automation shines, and Triggers.do is built precisely for this purpose.

Triggers.do is your comprehensive platform for automating workflow initiation. It allows you to effortlessly start your Agentic workflows (and other processes!) based on real-time events originating from various sources. Think of it as the intelligent switchboard that listens for specific signals and then kickstarts the appropriate response.

But what does this look like in practice? Let's explore five compelling use cases where Triggers.do can revolutionize your operations.

Use Case 1: E-commerce Order Processing Automation

The moment a customer clicks "purchase," a cascade of actions needs to be initiated. With Triggers.do, a order.created event can instantly trigger a series of workflows:

• Inventory Management: Automatically update stock levels.
• Order Fulfillment: Initiate picking, packing, and shipping processes.
• Customer Communication: Send order confirmation emails or SMS notifications.
• Payment Processing: Trigger the payment gateway to process the transaction.

Example (using Triggers.do 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', // Example source identifier
  filter: {
    condition: 'amount > 100', // Only trigger for orders over $100
    priority: 'high' // Assign a priority
  },
  handler: async (event) => {
    // Process the event and start workflows
    console.log(`New high-value order received: ${event.data.orderId}`);
    return {
      workflowId: 'premium-order-processing', // Trigger a specific workflow for high-value orders
      data: event.data
    };
  }
});

This example demonstrates how you can even filter events based on conditions (like order amount) to initiate different workflows dynamically.

Use Case 2: Real-time Customer Support Prioritization

When a customer submits a support ticket, immediate action is often required, especially for critical issues. Triggers.do can listen for a ticket.created or ticket.updated event and:

• Categorize and Tag: Automatically classify the issue based on keywords or sentiment.
• Assign to Agent: Route the ticket to the most appropriate support agent based on availability or expertise.
• Notify Stakeholders: Alert relevant team members for high-priority issues.
• Initiate Self-Service: Trigger the delivery of relevant knowledge base articles or FAQs.

By reacting instantly to support events, you can improve response times and enhance customer satisfaction.

Use Case 3: Automated Marketing Campaign Activation

Customer interactions provide valuable data points for marketing efforts. Triggers.do can leverage these events to personalize and automate campaign delivery:

• Abandon Cart Recovery: Trigger an email sequence when a user leaves items in their cart (cart.abandoned event).
• Product Interest: Initiate targeted ad campaigns or email offers when a user views specific products multiple times (product.viewed event with filtering).
• Customer Onboarding: Kick off a welcome campaign or tutorial sequence after a new user signs up (user.registered event).

Event-driven marketing ensures your messaging is timely, relevant, and more likely to convert.

Use Case 4: Seamless IoT Device Monitoring and Response

In the world of the Internet of Things (IoT), devices constantly generate data and events. Triggers.do can be the bridge between these events and automated responses:

• Anomaly Detection: Trigger an alert and initiate diagnostic workflows when a sensor reports unusual readings (sensor.anomaly event).
• Maintenance Scheduling: Automatically create a maintenance task when a device reaches a specific usage threshold (device.threshold.reached event).
• Automated Actions: Control other devices or systems based on specific IoT events (e.g., turn on lights when a motion sensor is triggered - motion.detected event).

This enables proactive maintenance, improved operational efficiency, and better data utilization from connected devices.

Use Case 5: Financial Transaction Monitoring and Fraud Detection

Monitoring financial transactions in real-time is crucial for security and compliance. Triggers.do can help by:

• Flagging Suspicious Activity: Trigger a review process and alert security teams when a transaction meets predefined conditions for fraud (transaction.suspect event with filtering).
• Automating Account Freezes: Initiate an account freeze workflow for clear cases of fraudulent activity (transaction.fraudulent event).
• Reporting and Analysis: Trigger reporting workflows to generate insights on transaction patterns (transaction.completed event).

By integrating with financial systems, Triggers.do provides a powerful layer of real-time monitoring and automated response to potential threats.
