Trigger

The trigger is the event that kicks off your workflow. Every workflow starts with exactly one trigger.

You can trigger a workflow from:

• Webhook – an external system sends data to your viaSocket webhook URL.

• Scheduler – run automatically at a defined time or interval, like every morning at 9 AM.

• Connected App – an event in a connected app, like a new row in Google Sheets or a new message in Slack.

Inside the trigger, you can also configure:

• Run flow if – only run the workflow when your data meets specific conditions.

• Get data – fetch additional data before passing it to your actions.

• Run flow individually – when your trigger returns multiple records, run the workflow once per record.

• Loop – repeat a set of actions for each item in a list.

• Dry run – test your trigger with real data without actually executing the workflow.
