What a trigger is
Every route has one trigger: the event that starts it. Which trigger type you pick determines what configuration fields you see — each type has its own schema, and the workflow builder loads and renders it dynamically.
Available trigger types
- API Endpoint — a dedicated synchronous API endpoint.
- GraphQL — a native GraphQL endpoint with schema configuration.
- Webhook — incoming HTTP requests, with optional async execution, retry, and throttling.
- Schedule — cron-based, on a timer.
- File Event — fires when a file is created, updated, or deleted in the store's managed file storage.
