Triggers

Written by Devon Page

Every map begins with a trigger. There are two kinds: task and event.

Task Trigger

Use a task trigger when a person in your organization takes an action to start the workflow, for example submitting a request or reaching out to start a process.

When editing a task trigger you will fill in:

  • Trigger title

  • Who starts the workflow (the person responsible)

  • What instructions they should follow

  • What tools they use (optional)

  • A reference link (optional), for example a linked SOP or video

Event Trigger

Use an event trigger when the workflow starts because of something that happens independently of a person, for example a new lead inquiry coming in, or a system notification.

When editing an event trigger you will fill in:

  • Trigger title

  • A description of the event

  • A tool, if one is involved (optional)

  • Whether the workflow starts automatically when the event fires

  • A reference link (optional)
