Introduction to Triggers

Triggers are events that start (trigger) workflows. These events can be internal events in Eshopbox or your App. You cannot manually start a workflow. Triggers let Apps Script run a function automatically when a certain event occurs.

The trigger can be of two types :

• Polling type: When using a polling trigger, APP will check for new data from your server every 1 to 15 minutes in order to start your workflow.

• Hook type: Hooks are an alternative to polling. APP subscribe to our server using a unique URL on a per workflow basis and you send a payload of data back to the unique URL to trigger that particular workflow.

Using App feature of Eshopbox App you can:

• Create and update Trigger

• Delete Trigger
