Triggers Reference
A trigger is the event that starts a workflow. When creating a workflow, you select one trigger per workflow. Some triggers must be paired with a specific filter — see the Notes column below.
| Trigger | When it fires | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Create Shipment | A new shipment is created. | |
| Update Shipment | A shipment is edited and saved. | Also used with the Current Temperature filter. |
| Shipment Status Updated | Shipment status is changed via the check call modal. | Required for the Original Status filter and Pickup/Delivery Audit Missing filters. |
| Add Alert | An alert is added to a shipment. | Use with the Original Alert filter to specify which alert triggers the workflow. |
| Remove Alert | An alert is resolved on a shipment. | Use with the Original Alert filter. |
