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, the added trigger action(s) will occur.
Trigger actions can be used to automatically assign reviewers, fast-track a change of state or send custom email notifications
Actions
One or more actions can be added to a trigger and executed once the event has occurred and the conditions are fulfilled. A single trigger can include one or more actions.
