Overview

When the named workflow event occurs, the trigger checks that any required condition is met , and if met sets one or more actions.

Conditions

Adding a condition to a workflow trigger is optional.

However, when you add a condition to the trigger, it becomes a requirement for the trigger to perform execute the specified action(s). Available

The available conditions are

• state - "conditions":[{"state": "(string value)"}]

• final - "conditions":[{"final":(boolean true/false)"true}] or “conditions":[{"final":false}]

• initial -"conditions":[{"initial": (boolean true/false)

If "final" condition is added together with another condition to an event, the condition is evaluated as an OR function.

• true}] or "conditions":[{"initial":false}]

The "initial" condition can be constrained to a named state in the workflow using the "state" condition.

info

Boolean condition values true and false are added in the code editor WITHOUT encompassing quotation marks, for example, "final":true

or

and "final":false.

JSON trigger

Trigger conditions

Example “on-change-state" event

For example, in the example trigger below, the state condition constrains the trigger to the change of state to the Rejected state.

"triggers:"
[
	{"event": "on-change-state",
		"conditions":
		[
			{"state": "Rejected"} ],
		"actions":
		[
			{"action":"set-message", "type":"info", "title":"Hey My Wonderful design and Tech Team", "body":"We have some work to do ... it was rejected!!!"}
		]
	}
]

A space administrator can use the visual editor or the code editor to add one or more triggers to a workflow.

The workflow trigger listens for a single selected event. You can constrain this by adding an optional condition from a dropdown menu.

You must add a value for the selected Condition.

For example, you must choose one of the states from the workflow using the dropdown menu for the State condition.

In the code editor:

 The code editor includes

• color coding to easily distinguish property names, values, and different data types

• autocomplete feature

• dropdown selectors for available properties and attributes

The JSON schema consists of an option to add conditions for the trigger.

Once you have added the conditions attribute, you can select the condition from a JSON schema help box.
