Triggers & Automation

Automations start manually or fire automatically from several trigger types. Triggers are managed per workflow and can be tested before going live.

In this guide

Manual & scheduled

  • Manual execution on demand for any workflow, with parameters.
  • Scheduled (cron) execution with active / next-run / last-run state tracked per workflow.
  • Scheduled runs are auto-paused when a plan expires or an account is frozen, and resumed automatically on restoration.

Webhook triggers

  • Inbound webhook triggers with per-workflow URL generation.
  • Full webhook management (create, read, update, delete) and support for GET / POST / PUT / PATCH / DELETE methods.

External-service triggers

  • Inbound-message triggers from Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, Twilio, and Instagram.
  • Gmail trigger for incoming mail — see also the dedicated Email Trigger System.

Trigger management

  • Enable / disable any trigger; trigger testing support; unified management API.
