Sheetgo provides different types of triggers on their workflows
Using triggers you can setup your workflow to run on a specific schedule / frequency or an event
See image below for the different types of triggers
Schedule
The schedule
trigger is highly customizable where you can set it up to run once or multiple times a day - or even once a month
There are options to set which days and between which hours - also customize the time zone to be used for this calculation
A note on the hour period to be set for the trigger - lets say you pick between 2pm to 3pm, this means that the system in the background will pick a convenient time between 2pm to 3pm to run the workflow - usually the time it picks depends on how busy the system is since it wants to pick a time when other processes are not running so things do not slow down
Form
The form
submit event means that the workflow will run based on whenever a form is submitted - this could be a particular form in the workflow as well as all forms on the workflow
For example lets say you want the workflow to be triggered to send out a notification whenever a form submit occurs
Workflow run
Using this trigger you can setup chained workflows
- which means that you can trigger the workflow to run only when some other workflow has finished running
This is useful when you want a particular process to only start when a previous process has finished completing - assuming that each process is being automated in it’s own workflow
