Triggers overview

A trigger is the entry point of a workflow. Without an armed trigger, only a manual launch creates a run.

⚡ Trigger types

Type	When to use	Guide
Manual	Tests, ad-hoc ops	Run button in the UI
Cron	Schedule (daily, hourly)	Cron
Webhook	External system pushes an event	Webhook
Object event	Immediate Dolibarr reaction	Object event

⚡ Typical chain

flowchart TD
  T[Trigger] --> W[Active workflow]
  W --> R[Run]
  R --> N[Connector nodes]

After setup, use Activate a workflow and monitor runs.

⚡ Best practices

• One workflow = one primary business trigger (avoid double firing).
• Test with Simulate and a representative payload.
• Document timezone for Cron and secret for webhook.
