Trigger actions
- Robert Alexander Marshall
Overview
One or more trigger actions can be set for a named event in the workflow.
When the workflow event occurs the trigger checks that any required condition is met, and if met the action(s) will occur.
Actions
A list of actions to perform once the event has occurred and the conditions are fulfilled. A single trigger may include one or more actions.
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
If adding the JSON trigger using workflow builder there is no need to include the opening "triggers:" JSON markup notation, since it will be added automatically by workflow builder.
