Manage triggers

This guide covers the everyday management of triggers: finding them, editing them, activating or deactivating them, deleting them, managing their tags and app, and importing or exporting them.

Before you begin​

  • Have access to the organization that contains the triggers.
  • Consulting the list only requires the Viewer role; editing, deleting or importing requires higher rights — see Permissions — Workflows and triggers.

Find a trigger​

  1. Click Triggers in the navigation menu.
  2. The list shows the triggers of the selected organization with:
  • Name: identification of the trigger;
  • Type: trigger family;
  • Status: Active or Inactive;
  • Associated workflows: number of linked workflows;
  • Updated: date of the last update.

Search by name, and filter by type, status, tags or app. Click a trigger to open its detail page.

View the details​

The trigger detail page groups:

  • Dashboard: general information, configuration and usage. If a workflow is associated, a direct link allows access in one click (and conversely from the workflow record).
  • Update: modification of the name, description, type options, tags and app.
  • Example: schema or example of the expected input data (mainly API route and Scheduler triggers).
  • Deployments: deployment environments and status by environment — see Deploy a trigger.

Edit a trigger​

  1. Open the trigger detail page, Update tab.
  2. Modify the name, description, type options, tags or app.
  3. Click Save.

Activate or deactivate a trigger​

  1. On the detail page, Update tab.
  2. Turn on or turn off the switch according to the desired status.
  3. Click Save.
Deactivation

Deactivating a trigger stops its nominal usage on deployments: the associated workflows will no longer be triggered according to the configuration in place.

Delete a trigger​

Permanent deletion

Deleting a trigger is permanent: it cannot be undone. It is only possible once the trigger has been removed from all environments and the associated workflows have been deleted or unlinked.

  1. Remove the trigger from all environments — see Deploy a trigger.
  2. Delete or unlink the associated workflows.
  3. On the detail page, click Delete then confirm.

Manage tags​

Tags are free labels used to find a scope (team, customer, domain), filter the lists and harmonize classification between teams. They do not change the execution behavior of the workflow.

  • Add: detail page → Update tab → Tags field → type a label then validate (often ↵ Enter) → Save.
  • Remove: detail page → Update tab → × next to the tag → Save.

Attach an App​

The App attaches triggers and workflows to a business scope and feeds the mapping. It is not required for the technical operation of the workflow.

  1. Detail page → Update tab.
  2. App field: select an existing app.
  3. Click Save.

For the concept and management of apps: Apps.

Import and export a trigger​

  • Export: downloads a JSON description of the trigger configuration (type, options…), useful to save it, version it, document it or recreate it elsewhere.
  • Import: recreates or updates a trigger from an exported JSON file — practical for migrating between organizations or restoring a configuration.

Export​

  1. Open the trigger detail page.
  2. Click then Export.
  3. A JSON file is downloaded.

Import​

  1. Open the Triggers page.
  2. Click Import.
  3. Choose the JSON file.
  4. Check the displayed information, then Save.
After an import

Check the slugs (unique within the organization), the environments and the rights after an import or an export.
