What is a trigger

A trigger notifies users when specific events occur, such as when an audit is marked as missed.


How do I set up a trigger for an audit

  1. Go to the Configure Portal and edit the desired audit.

  2. Go to Triggers and click Add Trigger.

  3. Select a specific event. For example, if an alert should be sent out when an issue is identified, then select "On Submitted With Validation Errors".

  4. Choose a notification type in the Activity drop-down.

    • Send Notification - A system notification will be generated and sent out.

    • Send Webhook - The event data will be sent to the attached URL.

    • Send Email - A email notification will be generated and sent out.

    šŸ’”Please note that the email notification option is not available for every event.

  5. Specify who should be notified about this event.

    • Users with access to the audit - People are assigned this audit.

    • User with the role - People who have specific roles.

    • User with the responsibility - People who are assigned specific responsibilities.

    • User with the role and responsibility - People who are assigned both specific roles and selected responsibilities.

An email template must be chosen on the Send Email option.

  • Standard Form Content - Questions and answers are included in the email.

  • Notification Content - A short message shows when this event takes place.

This email notification can also be sent to external parties by adding their email addresses.

When triggers are configured, any occurring event will automatically trigger the next-step activity.
