Trigger Node

Automate your workflows with flexible triggers. Initiate tasks, reports, and updates precisely when needed, ensuring seamless execution without manual intervention for non-API workflows.

Precision Workflow Automation

The Trigger Node empowers users to initiate workflows with customizable timing and conditions, driving automation for tasks, reports, or data updates without relying on API-based nodes. It ensures consistent execution, making it ideal for non-API workflows like content generation, task management, or customer feedback collection.

Transform your business operations with intelligent triggering that adapts to your needs. Whether you're scheduling customer surveys, generating reports, or managing internal processes, the Trigger Node provides the flexibility and precision your automated workflows demand.

Core Functionality

The Trigger Node offers robust automation capabilities to ensure your non-API workflows execute with perfect timing and reliability:

Task Triggering

Launches workflows or specific node actions based on user-defined timing, providing precise control over automation initiation.

Common Applications:

Task automation startup
Report generation triggers
Feedback collection initiation
Internal process launches

Timing Options

Supports flexible scheduling via intervals (seconds, minutes, hours, days) or Cron expressions, offering versatile options for diverse business needs.

Common Applications:

Hourly task triggers
Daily report initiation
Custom schedule launches
Timezone-aware execution

Workflow Execution

Initiates non-API workflows automatically, relying on the AI Assistant Node to perform actions as instructed, ensuring consistent results.

Common Applications:

Automated content creation
Task management execution
Feedback processing
Data update triggers

Monitoring

Tracks trigger status and execution history, providing logs and counts to ensure workflow dependability and transparency.

Common Applications:

Execution status tracking
Performance monitoring
Run count analytics
Schedule update reviews

Configuration Guide

Setting up the Trigger Node requires careful attention to timing, messaging, and workflow integration. Follow these steps to create reliable automated triggers:

1

Adding the Node

In the Delaverse Playground, select "Trigger Node" from the right-hand menu and drag it onto the canvas.
Assign a descriptive title, e.g., "Daily Feedback Trigger" for surveys or "Task Update Trigger" for project management.
Position the node strategically within your workflow to initiate the appropriate automation sequences.
2

Timing Setup

Click the node to open the comprehensive configuration panel.
In the "Timing Settings" section, choose the scheduling type from the dropdown.
For Interval: Select a value and unit (seconds, minutes, hours, days), e.g., 6 hours.
For Cron Expression: Enter a Cron pattern (e.g., "0 9 * * *" for daily at 9 AM).
Set the timezone (e.g., Asia/Tehran) for accurate scheduling.
3

Message and Execution Settings

In the "Message Text" section, enter a simple instruction, e.g., "مطابق دستورالعمل، عمل کن".
In "Maximum Executions," leave blank for unlimited runs or enter a number (e.g., 10) to cap executions.
Toggle the "Trigger Status" button to "On" to activate the trigger for workflow execution.
4

Connections and Integration

Input: None required, as the Trigger Node initiates workflows independently based on time conditions.
Output: Connect to the AI Assistant Node to execute non-API workflows.
Example: In a feedback workflow, connect to AI Assistant Node to process survey data, then to Google Docs or Telegram for output.
Ensure proper connection flow to maintain automation reliability.
5

Testing and Monitoring

Configure timing and message text, then click "Test Trigger" to simulate a workflow run.
In the "Status Info" section, check execution history and update scheduling if needed.
Review performance metrics to confirm the workflow produces expected outputs.
Monitor initial runs to ensure proper integration and outcomes.

Example Configuration: Daily Feedback Collection

Here's a comprehensive example of how to configure a Trigger Node for automated daily feedback collection:

Trigger Node Configuration: Daily Feedback Collection Automation

Node Title: "Daily Feedback Trigger"
Timing Type: Interval
Timing Settings:
  Value: 1
  Unit: Day
  Timezone: Asia/Tehran
Message Text: "مطابق دستورالعمل، عمل کن"
Maximum Executions: Unlimited
Trigger Status: On

Connected Nodes:
  Output → AI Assistant Node (Feedback Analysis)
  Flow → Google Sheets Node (Data Storage)
  Delivery → Telegram Node (Result Notification)

Status Info:
  Last Execution: 1404/03/11 08:00:15
  Next Execution: 1404/03/12 08:00:00
  Runs Completed: 5

Key Features of This Configuration:

Flexible daily triggering
Timezone awareness
Seamless AI Assistant integration
Comprehensive status tracking

Common Use Cases

Explore how different businesses leverage the Trigger Node for automated workflow initiation:

Feedback Collection

Daily trigger → Survey processing → Analysis → Result delivery

Task Management

Regular triggers → Task updates → Progress tracking → Team notifications

Content Generation

Scheduled triggers → AI content creation → Multi-channel delivery

Data Updates

Custom triggers → Data refresh → Analysis → Storage in Google Sheets

Pro Tips for Effective Triggering

Consider timezone differences when triggering workflows for global teams or clients
Test your trigger during setup using the "Test Trigger" button to ensure reliable execution
Use the "مطابق دستورالعمل، عمل کن" message for simplicity, ensuring the AI Assistant Node follows your workflow intent
Use descriptive trigger names (e.g., "Weekly Task Trigger") to clearly indicate purpose and timing
Monitor run counts in "Status Info" to adjust maximum executions for critical processes
