Automation Triggers

Introduction

Use the different trigger types to better fit the automations purpose.

Automation Trigger Types

• 'Manual' Trigger

• ‘Scheduled’ Trigger

• ‘Resource Created’ Trigger

• ‘Resource Updated’ Trigger

• Incoming 'Webhook' Trigger

Manual Automation Trigger Type

The manual trigger type enables a button on the desired Automations page. Use the manual trigger types when the automation does not need to be triggered off of another resource, or at a set time.

Scheduled Automation Trigger Type

Using the scheduled automation type allows the automation to trigger at a selected time and date. This is only applicable if the automation is ‘Enabled’.

Resource Created Trigger Type

One can use this trigger type if they want the automation to trigger when a resource is created on a selected page in the Rivial platform.

Resource Updated Trigger Type

This trigger type is used when someone wants an automation to trigger after a selected resource or a resource that resides in a set category is updated. One can select the variables that the automation checks for when ‘Enabled’.

Incoming Webhook Trigger Type

Incoming Webhooks are a simple way to send a post request from external apps into the platform. Creating an Incoming Webhook gives you a URL to which you send a JSON payload. You can use all the data through our smart value system.
