Triggers and actions
Triggers and actions are components of automation systems. A trigger is a specific event or condition that starts the process, like receiving an email or a certain time of day. An action is what happens in response, such as sending a message, turning on a device, or updating a record. Think of it as: when a trigger occurs, the system automatically performs the preset action. This setup helps streamline tasks, save time, and ensure consistency without manual effort.
