Queue trigger

Start a workflow each time a work item is added to a queue.

The Queue trigger starts a workflow when a work item is added to a queue. A queue holds work items that one automation adds and another picks up, so this trigger lets a workflow pick up work that robots, other workflows, or other apps put there.

Set it up

1. Select the trigger on the canvas, then select Queue trigger in the Change trigger list.
2. In Queue, select the queue to watch.
3. Optionally, under Input arguments, select Add input argument for values that other nodes read under $vars.<node ID>.output, for example $vars.queueTrigger1.output.

Each queue can start only one workflow. Queue triggers describes how queue triggers work.
