Overview

One or more conditions can be set to trigger a named event in the workflow.When the named workflow event occurs, the trigger checks that any required condition is met and sets one or more actions.

Conditions

condition must be met for the trigger to perform the specified action(s). Available conditions are

  • "state": "(string value)"

  • "final":(boolean true/false)

  • "initial": (boolean true/false)

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

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

Boolean condition values true and false are added WITHOUT encompassing quotation marks, for example, "final":true or "final":false

Trigger conditions

One or more workflow triggers can be added to a workflow using the visual editor or the code editor.

Triggers are created in JSON code.

"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 workflow trigger can be added to a workflow using the visual editor or 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 property names, including workflow trigger events, conditions, and actions

Example “on-approve" event

"triggers":
[
	{"event": "on-approve",
	"conditions":
	[
		{"state":"Review"}
	],
	"actions":
	[
		{"action":"change-state",
			"state":"Published"}
	]}
]

If adding the JSON trigger using workflow builder visual builder there is no need to include the opening "triggers": JSON markup notation, it is added automatically by workflow builder.

The trigger action causes a change of state

  • "actions":[{ "action":"change-state"}],

The trigger action occurs on the approve event but ONLY if the current state is the Review state

  • "conditions":[{"state":"Review"}],

If a JSON condition is present this can include one or more conditions but only ONE state condition can be used for each event.
