📝 Overview

A trigger is the method used to start a Flowbot in Yoom.

Yoom provided four types of triggers, including manual launch, allowing you to automate workflows based on different conditions.

🛠️ Types of Triggers & Use Cases

Trigger Type	Description	Use cases
Manual launch	The Flowbot is started manually by clicking the launch button in Yoom.	When you want to control the timing, such as after reviewing a task.
When information is sent via a form	The Flowbot starts when a response is submitted from a custom web form.	For surveys, inquiries, or workflows triggered by form submissions.
When a specific schedule is reached	The Flowbot runs at a set date and time.	Automating periodic tasks, such as sending reports every Wednesday at 10 AM.
When an email with specific conditions is received	The Flowbot starts when an email matching set conditions is received at a designated email address.	Sending email notifications to a chat tool when specific emails arrive.
When a specific app event is received	The Flowbot starts when a specified event occurs in another app.	Triggering workflows based on app activities, such as contract signing or a chat post.
When a specific event occurs in a database	The Flowbot starts when a record is added, updated, or deleted in Yoom's database.	Automating actions when new records are added from another app.

Some triggers require you to turn ON a toggle switched after setup.

Once the Flowbot is properly configured and the toggle is turned ON, the trigger becomes active.

You cannot turn the toggle ON in the following cases:
❌ The trigger is set, but no actions (operations) are configured afterward.

❌ The subsequent operations exist but are incomplete.

🎉 That’s it! Now you know how to set up triggers in Yoom.
