Triggers

Automation in Ordify runs in two modes: scheduling (time-based) and triggers (event-based). Triggers run your jobs automatically when specific events occur in your connected apps — so instead of waiting for a scheduled time, your workflows react to what's happening right now.

Once your apps are connected, triggers turn your automation into a real-time, reactive system that works the moment something important occurs.

When to use triggers​

  • New email arrives — process incoming emails, extract information, or route messages automatically
  • Form submissions — instantly handle responses from Google Forms, contact forms, or surveys
  • CRM updates — react to new leads, deal changes, or customer updates
  • File uploads — process documents when they're uploaded to Google Drive or OneDrive
  • Calendar events — trigger workflows when meetings are scheduled or reminders fire
  • Payment notifications — handle payment confirmations, subscriptions, or transaction updates

How to set up a trigger​

Trigger Configuration Interface

  1. Click on Automation → Trigger Manager
