WEBVTT 00:01.720 --> 00:02.560 Welcome back. 00:02.760 --> 00:06.760 In this video we are going to focus specifically on triggers in A10. 00:07.080 --> 00:13.680 Before we build full automations and agents, we need to understand what triggers are, how they work, 00:14.080 --> 00:15.920 and why they are so important. 00:16.400 --> 00:19.680 Remember, triggers are what start your automation. 00:20.360 --> 00:25.320 Think of them as the starting point that tells your automation is time to run. 00:26.440 --> 00:28.240 There are different types of triggers. 00:29.720 --> 00:31.880 So let's go back to our overview. 00:33.920 --> 00:36.000 And create workflow from scratch. 00:38.840 --> 00:41.680 It's good practice to give your workflow a name. 00:45.080 --> 00:46.400 For example triggers. 00:49.000 --> 00:53.720 Email and hit enter and just click on the canvas. 00:55.400 --> 00:57.320 Workflows are successfully created. 00:59.250 --> 00:59.730 Now. 01:00.130 --> 01:03.810 Always remember to set your time zone correctly in the settings. 01:04.170 --> 01:07.650 That's important for any time based triggers later on. 01:08.690 --> 01:10.130 So click on these three dots. 01:12.890 --> 01:13.890 Select settings. 01:16.210 --> 01:17.290 And choose your time zone. 01:20.010 --> 01:20.570 Save. 01:22.610 --> 01:24.090 The workflow settings saved. 01:25.170 --> 01:28.050 Now we can explore different types of triggers. 01:31.490 --> 01:35.330 So simply put a trigger is the first step in your automation workflow. 01:36.050 --> 01:40.370 It tells Nathan when or how to start your automation. 01:41.010 --> 01:43.890 And there are many kinds of triggers in N810. 01:45.370 --> 01:50.570 You can add the trigger by simply clicking on this plus button. 01:55.210 --> 01:58.940 And here you can see the different types of sugars you can choose from. 02:00.500 --> 02:06.860 The first one is manual sugar, so you start the workflow yourself by clicking on the Test Workflow 02:06.860 --> 02:07.340 button. 02:09.180 --> 02:11.820 And this is useful for testing or workflows. 02:11.820 --> 02:13.500 You want to control yourself. 02:16.260 --> 02:20.220 So your automation starts as soon as you click the Test Workflow button. 02:24.020 --> 02:32.020 Next we have an app event trigger, so this triggers starts the automation. 02:32.020 --> 02:39.460 Whenever something happens in another app like telegram, Airtable, notion, Gmail, Google Sheets, 02:40.860 --> 02:47.500 etc. so these triggers are very powerful because they allow you to connect to many different apps instantly. 02:49.660 --> 02:56.830 And N810 has built in integrations for many apps, which means these are the dedicated nodes for these 02:56.830 --> 02:57.590 services. 02:57.910 --> 03:02.430 So you don't have to use a webhook node and set up the connection yourself manually. 03:03.150 --> 03:04.950 So N810 handles it for you. 03:05.550 --> 03:11.270 And as you can see, I'm scrolling down and there are plenty of on up event triggers available for you 03:11.270 --> 03:11.990 to choose from. 03:12.950 --> 03:15.270 So this triggers are very powerful. 03:18.910 --> 03:24.310 Next we have on Schedule Trigger. 03:25.830 --> 03:27.310 So let's choose this one. 03:30.230 --> 03:35.030 And as you can see this trigger automatically run workflow. 03:37.750 --> 03:40.030 On a specific on a specific interval. 03:40.390 --> 03:43.910 For example every couple of days. 03:46.390 --> 03:47.350 Every minute. 03:47.670 --> 03:48.710 Once per hour. 03:48.710 --> 03:49.950 Every day at midnight. 03:50.830 --> 03:52.070 On custom schedules. 03:52.070 --> 04:01.750 Like every Monday at 8 a.m., for example, you might schedule a daily email summary at eight in the 04:01.750 --> 04:02.990 morning automatically. 04:04.910 --> 04:06.390 Next we have. 04:14.190 --> 04:22.270 On call, which means this trigger starts workflow when it receives an HTTP request from another system. 04:22.830 --> 04:30.950 So if you are looking for an app to connect to in an A-10 and there is no direct integration. 04:33.390 --> 04:42.910 When you check on app event triggers, you can connect to any app that provides access to an API by 04:42.910 --> 04:43.910 using this. 04:46.070 --> 04:49.030 By choosing on a webhook call trigger. 04:50.070 --> 04:57.600 So it's useful when you need to connect custom applications, external services, or APIs. 04:58.120 --> 05:04.360 For example, a payment system like stripe sends data to an A10 and when a new transaction is completed, 05:05.000 --> 05:09.280 triggering an automation that logs the payment in Google Sheets. 05:12.680 --> 05:19.640 So here you have to configure the webhook node and provide a URL and choose the method. 05:20.320 --> 05:23.480 And we'll go how to do it in detail in the next lesson. 05:27.680 --> 05:28.760 Next we have. 05:31.960 --> 05:33.400 On form submission trigger. 05:34.000 --> 05:38.200 So this trigger allows you to create simple web forms inside an A10. 05:38.520 --> 05:41.480 And your workflow runs whenever someone submits the form. 05:41.920 --> 05:50.410 And you can embed this form into your website so there is no need for external form services, and they 05:50.410 --> 05:52.610 then can handle form submission on its own. 05:55.410 --> 05:58.530 Also you have when executed by another workflow trigger. 05:59.570 --> 06:06.490 So this allows one workflow to trigger another so you can connect multiple workflows multiple automations. 06:06.690 --> 06:12.610 So it's easy to break complex automations or agents into smaller workflows. 06:12.890 --> 06:16.410 It helps keep your automations modular and organized. 06:17.610 --> 06:19.450 And the last one on chat message. 06:20.010 --> 06:27.690 So when you choose this trigger, you can start the workflow by paying this chat module. 06:28.610 --> 06:31.210 Chatting for example, with your agent. 06:33.490 --> 06:34.050 All right. 06:34.050 --> 06:38.050 These are different types of triggers available in N810. 06:40.010 --> 06:43.890 We'll go through each of them in more detail in next lessons. 06:43.890 --> 06:46.570 So don't worry this is just an introduction. 06:46.570 --> 06:46.660 Action. 06:48.500 --> 06:55.100 Just to quickly summarize what you have covered in this episode, manual trigger runs whenever you want 06:55.980 --> 07:02.820 to start your automation manually on app event when something happens externally in different apps. 07:03.740 --> 07:08.220 Scheduled trigger is time based and automatic repetition. 07:08.740 --> 07:18.020 So every two hours, every day on a specific interval webhook trigger run from external HTTP calls. 07:18.340 --> 07:24.180 So there is no dedicated node to use as a trigger to connect to an external app. 07:24.460 --> 07:33.020 You can configure a webhook trigger node to make API calls and connect to different apps. 07:34.060 --> 07:38.780 Form submission trigger automatically run when someone fills out your form. 07:41.300 --> 07:42.860 And triggered by another workflow. 07:42.980 --> 07:44.820 Connect multiple workflows together.
