Configuring a Trigger

Last update: 20.03.2021

Triggers

Triggers determine what event to listen to in order to execute the actions described in a workflow.

Trigger events can be configured based on apps (e.g. Salesforce, Google Sheets, MySQL) when a certain event occurs (e.g. a new customer is created).

Depending on the available API, APIFuse can receive trigger events in real-time, or check for the occurrence of an event periodically by polling the application.

Configuring a Trigger:

In order to create a trigger, you need to configure the following criteria:

  1. Select App (Salesforce, Moosend etc)
  2. Select Trigger Type: (Ex: when a contact is created)
  3. Authenticate the trigger app (Create new connection).
  4. Configure the app/event specific inputs. For example, “When a new subscriber is created” in Moosend (as shown below)
  5. Configure trigger condition (optional if you need to filter on certain criteria).
  6. Configure since date (optional If you want to fetch older data) to perform a one time batch process
