Your First Trigger: Getting Started with Triggers.do

Automate Workflow Initiation Effortlessly

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, the ability to react instantly to real-time events can be a game-changer for businesses. Whether it's a new customer signing up, an order being placed, or a critical system alert, initiating the right workflow at the precise moment can dramatically improve efficiency, reduce manual errors, and enhance customer experience. This is where Triggers.do comes in.

Triggers.do is the comprehensive platform for event-based process automation. It empowers you to define, manage, and leverage event triggers to initiate specific workflows or processes based on incoming events from various sources. It's the key to unlocking true Agentic Workflows, allowing your systems to react intelligently and autonomously.

What is Event-Driven Automation?

At its core, event-driven automation means that an action (like starting a workflow) is automatically initiated when a specific event occurs. Think of it as setting up a series of "if this, then that" rules for your business processes.

For example, if a new order comes in, you might want to:

• Send a confirmation email to the customer.
• Update your inventory.
• Notify the shipping department.
• Create a record in your CRM.

Manually doing this for every order is time-consuming and prone to errors. With Triggers.do, these actions, or entire workflows, are kicked off automatically and reliably.

Your First Step with Triggers.do

Getting started with Triggers.do is straightforward, thanks to its intuitive API and SDKs. Let’s look at a practical example: triggering a workflow when a new order is created.

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
    };
  }
});

Let's break down this code:

• import { Trigger } from 'triggers.do';: This line imports the Trigger class from the Triggers.do SDK.
• name and description: These provide human-readable labels for your trigger.
• event: 'order.created': This specifies the type of event that this trigger will listen for. When your ecommerce-platform (or any integrated system) emits an order.created event, Triggers.do will pick it up.
• source: 'ecommerce-platform': This identifies where the event originates from, useful for organizing and filtering.
• filter: This powerful feature allows you to define conditions. In this example, the trigger will only fire if the amount of the order is greater than 100 and its priority is 'high'. This ensures your workflows are only initiated when specific criteria are met, preventing unnecessary processing.
• handler: This is where the magic happens. When the trigger condition is met, the handler function is executed. Here, you define what happens next – typically, starting an existing workflow. In this case, it instructs Triggers.do to initiate the order-processing workflow, passing along the event data.
