Triggers

• Triggers are events that users can define to be initiated after a record is created, updated, or deleted in an entity.

• Triggers are defined within the Entity template under the Triggers tab.

• Triggers are of 3 types:

  • After Create: An After Create trigger can be defined to initiate actions after a record is created.

  • After Update: An After Update trigger can be defined to initiate actions after a record is updated.

  • After Delete: An After Delete trigger can be defined to initiate actions after a record is deleted.

• Triggers contain predefined variables based on the type of trigger.

• Users can define additional variables as required.
