Triggers
-
How instant triggers work
An instant trigger starts a run the moment the service tells Bizomate something happened, instead of checking every 5 or 15 minutes. What its panel shows, and how to test with a real event.
-
Running a workflow on a schedule
The Schedule trigger runs a workflow every few minutes, hour, day, weekday, week or month — or on a cron — in the time zone of whoever publishes it.
-
Send a test event to a webhook
Listen for a test event, send a real request to the Test URL within two minutes, and a test run of your draft starts with what was sent.
-
Set up the fields on a form
Add, edit, reorder and remove a form's questions — text, email, number, date, choices, long text and file — and what visitors are told when an answer is wrong.
-
Start a workflow by hand
The Manual trigger starts a workflow only when someone chooses to run it — nothing starts it on its own.
-
Start a workflow from a Brevo email event or new contact
Brevo's Email event trigger starts a run when a transactional email is delivered, opened, clicked or bounces; New contact when a contact is added to a list. Publishing sets up the webhook in Brevo.

Start a workflow from a form
The Form trigger gives the workflow a web page with your questions. Each time someone sends it, a run starts with their answers.

Start a workflow from a Telegram message or button press
Telegram's New message and New button press triggers start a run the moment someone writes to your bot or presses one of its buttons. Publishing sets up the bot; nothing to paste.
