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:

The trigger
shape settings panel is split into two sections, with general trigger settings in the top pane (see 1 below) followed by available trigger types (see 2 below):
General trigger settings
In the general trigger settings
section, the customise URLs for virtual environment
option can be used if you're creating webhook or callback URLs for use with process flows that run in a virtual environment.
Trigger types
The following trigger types are available:
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.
