Choose a trigger

The trigger decides when a flow runs. A new flow starts with an Event Trigger. To use a different kind, right-click the trigger, choose Replace, and pick one.

When something happens in the app

1. Click the Event Trigger.
2. Under When this event fires, pick an event, such as a user signing in or a role being assigned.

The Outputs section lists what the event carries, ready to use in later steps. Every event is described in Domain events.

When a record changes in one model

1. Replace the trigger with Data Record.
2. Choose the Data model, then under On choose Record created, Record updated or Record deleted.

Only records in that model start the flow.

On a schedule

1. Replace the trigger with Schedule.
2. Choose how often: On an interval (every so many minutes), Daily, Weekly, Monthly (by date) or Monthly (by weekday), then set the details and time. Times are in your own time zone.

Next run shows when it will next fire. A schedule only fires while the flow is on.

When another system calls it

1. Replace the trigger with HTTP Trigger.
2. Click Generate secret, then Save changes.
3. Give the other system the Endpoint URL and the Secret. It sends a POST to the URL with the secret in an Authorization: Bearer header.

Later steps read the request body as {{ trigger.body }}.

Only when you start it

Replace the trigger with Manual Trigger. The flow never runs by itself; it runs when you click Run now.
