Connector trigger

Set up a Connector trigger: choose the app and the event, connect to the app, and read the event data in later nodes.

A Connector trigger starts a workflow when something happens in another app, for example a new email in Gmail or a deleted lead in Marketo. Each app offers its own list of events. Connector lists every connector and shows which ones have events.

Set it up​

  1. Select the trigger on the canvas, then select Connector trigger in the Change trigger list.
  2. Choose the app, then the event. The trigger is named after the event, for example Lead Deleted.
  3. In the Connector section, select a connection to the app, or create one. Create a connection describes how to create one.
  4. Optionally, under Input arguments, add values that other nodes read under $vars.<node ID>.output.

Output​

The trigger's output holds the event's data, such as the email or the record that changed. Select { } Insert in a later node to see the fields.
