Unit Triggers

Trigger TypeTrigger Description
Execute TriggerUpon completion, this trigger will be automatically set and the next Unit, which has its Execute Trigger wired to this Complete Trigger, will be executed next.
Complete TriggerThis trigger gets set by the execution flow and the Unit will be called to execute.




Info

Units may have several Complete Triggers, which can be used to branch to individual flows. These triggers, when wired together, precisely define the execution flow of the Workflow. As a consequence to the strictly controlled execution flow, it is not possible that an Execute Trigger of a Unit gets wired to more than one trigger or port.


Events

Events are used to trigger execution of an entire Workflow, or just a subset of a Workflow, or a Subworkflow. This is a very powerful concept, allowing Workflows to be triggered from any Workflow condition, but also – for example – from network events. The simplest example is the Start Workflow event. If the old-style method of regular execution based on a time interval is required, the Trigger Tick Unit can be used.
