Triggers

Events that start a workflow.

A trigger defines when a workflow runs. Each workflow has exactly one trigger.

Available triggers

Trigger settings

Application submitted

Optionally scope to a specific position. When scoped, the workflow only fires for applications to that position. When unscoped (org-wide), it fires for all positions.

Candidate created

Fires once per new candidate, regardless of which position they applied to. This trigger does not provide application or position context, so actions like "Move to stage" are unavailable.

Manual

The workflow does not fire automatically. Instead, a Run button appears in the workflow builder. Click it and select a target candidate to execute the workflow on demand. A 10-second cooldown prevents accidental double-fires.

More trigger types are planned, including stage change events, time-based delays, and field value conditions.
