Example

In a 4-state workflow, you might want the workflow to move immediately from a Rejected state to a more proactively named Triage state rather than waiting for a user to manually transition the content.

You can use a trigger to listen for the state change event to the Rejected state and set the trigger action to immediately transition to the Triage state.

The trigger is created using JSON code.

"triggers":
[
	{"event":"on-change-state",
	"conditions":
	[
		{"state":"Rejected"}
	],
	"actions":
	[
		{"action":"change-state",
			"state":"Triage"}
	]}
]

There are a number of workflow events that can be added to a trigger. For each trigger, you can set one or more conditions, for example, to constrain a trigger to listen for an event that occurs in a particular state. One or more actions can be added to a workflow trigger undertaken when the event occurs.
