Triggers
Let the right moment start your process automatically.
What is Triggers?
A trigger is the event that automatically sets a workflow in motion, for example a new order or an incoming message. So you never have to press 'start' yourself. Your business responds immediately, even outside office hours.
How does it work?
- Choose for a workflow which event should start it.
- Select the source, such as a new contact form, payment or e-mail.
- Optionally set additional conditions before the flow starts.
- Activate the trigger and the workflow will respond automatically from now on.
Use cases
Webshop: start a flow as soon as a payment comes in.
Service provider: start follow-up as soon as someone fills in a contact form.
Hospitality: respond immediately to a new booking via WhatsApp.
B2B: start onboarding as soon as a new customer appears in your CRM.
Benefits
- Instant response, 24/7, without you needing to be there.
- No missed requests because you were too late.
- Work starts at exactly the right moment, not too early or too late.
- Connect multiple sources to the same flow.
Frequently asked questions
Which events can I use as a trigger?
Think of a new order, payment, form submission, incoming message or a change in your CRM. Integrations with tools such as WhatsApp, Shopify or Stripe can also be a trigger.
Can one event start multiple workflows?
Yes. You can link the same trigger to multiple flows, for example to confirm a customer and notify your team at the same time.
