Trigger shape

Introduction

All process flows are created with a trigger shape already in place, so you can define when and how frequently the process flow will run via trigger settings:

Having accessed trigger shape settings, you can select the required trigger type - this determines any subsequent options that are displayed:

The following trigger types are available:

• Schedule

• Webhook

• Event listener

• Callbck

Do I have to use a trigger shape?

When a new process flow is created, a trigger shape is added - by default, it's configured with an hourly schedule.

Trigger shapes can't be moved or deleted, but you can change/remove the default settings as needed. If it's not appropriate to initialise a flow from the trigger shape - for example, if you're receiving data via a Patchworks API request - you can remove the default schedule, so no triggers are defined.
