Triggers can start flows based on an event or schedule.
This article will show how to add a trigger to the flow you created. Once a flow is created, you can manually execute the flow to run or you can schedule the flow to automatically run based on a trigger. There are many trigger steps available.
Adding a Trigger Step
There are different types of triggers that can be used in one or more flows. A list of these can be seen in the image below.
A Schedule trigger will be used as an example. A schedule trigger allows you to set up the flow to run at a regular pre-determined time.
1. Click on the highlighted button to open a list of triggers.
2. Select the Schedule trigger.
3. Select from the Cron Tab option to select the required timeframe.
4. Click Save.
Adding multiple times to a schedule trigger
To select multiple times, press the Ctrl button on your keyboard and select the required times. The selected times will be displayed.
Edit a trigger
To edit a Trigger, click on the highlighted button to open the Trigger and chose the desired function to perform.
Click the Delete button to remove Trigger completely.
Click the Disable button to disable Trigger – This will keep the trigger but make it inactive in the flow.
Click the Detach button to detach Trigger – This will keep the trigger but make it inactive in the flow. You can only make it active again through the ReAttach button.
Click the ReAttach button to reattach Trigger – When you reattach a trigger, that trigger is deleted and then recreated as a new trigger.
Things to Try
Try another trigger, like an HTTP trigger.
Synatic allows for more than one trigger on a flow. Try adding multiple triggers.
That's it for now. Check back regularly for more Quickstart guides.
