In the app triggers, you may see two types:

This guide explains the differences between these trigger types and when to use each.

Instant Execution (Near Real-Time)

When the trigger action happens, Flowbot starts almost immediately.

It's best for real-time automation, where you need an instant response.

Example:

A new card is newly created in Trello and Flowbot immediately starts processing it.

Scheduled Execution

These triggers require you to set an interval for checking updates.

At each interval, Yoom checks if a trigger action has occurred before starting Flowbot.

If no trigger action is detected, Flowbot does not run.

📍 Example:

A Google Sheets row is updated multiple times, but you only need to process it once per hour instead of every minor change.

Best Use Case:

✔️ Prevents Flowbot from triggering too many times for minor updates.

✔️ Ideal when multiple changes happen in a short period and only the latest one matters.

☝️ Note:

If a trigger only supports Webhook start, the interval setting won't be displayed.

✔️ Use "Webhook Start" if:

✔️ Use "Trigger with Interval" if:
