Set Up Triggers
Triggers function like "when" statements. At least one trigger must be created for a module to work, but the trigger can range in complexity from beginning a process when a new item is created (such as a new Salesforce opportunity) to containing numerous "if" statements that target specific conditions (such as only opportunities that fit certain parameters).
Create a Trigger
By default, a new module automatically creates a trigger block (denoted by a lightning bolt). To create a new trigger, follow the steps below:
On the module builder screen, select the add block icon,
, before a trigger block. The Add Trigger When menu displays.
Select the type of trigger to create.
There are five types of triggers, each with their own use cases and considerations:
Item is Added - The workflow runs when a new item is added, whether that item is pulled from the intake source or is added manually in the business report. This is the most common trigger type.
Interface Submitted - The workflow runs when an interface is submitted by a user.
Form Filled - The workflow runs when a Tonkean form is submitted by a user.
Match Conditions - The workflow runs when any item matches the "if" criteria specified.
Field Changed - The workflow runs when the value of a specified field changes.
Button Clicked - The workflow runs when the specified button is selected on an item interface or workspace app.
On Scheduled - The workflow runs at a specified time and date.
