<triggers>

<triggers> contains one or more trigger definitions that can admit runs into the same root workflow steps.

Why use it

Use it when a workflow should start from manual input, HTTP, time, events, or a supported communication provider.

Common use cases

  • Expose an authenticated webhook.
  • Run on a schedule or interval.
  • Receive provider messages.
  • Support several admission sources for one workflow.

Syntax

WOML
<triggers>
  <manual id="start" />
  <webhook
    id="newOrder"
    path="/webhooks/orders"
    auth="bearer"
    secret="{{secrets.ORDER_WEBHOOK_TOKEN}}"
  />
</triggers>

Rules and behavior

  • It is optional for call-only workflows.
  • When present, it must contain at least one trigger; an empty <triggers /> is invalid.
  • Every trigger starts the same root <steps>.
  • WOML v1 does not route different triggers to different entry nodes.
  • Normalized trigger input becomes context.payload.
