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.
