The Database Trigger step is your workflow’s starting point. Use this step to define which changes in your database (or external events) will automatically kick off your workflow.

Example: A new row added in the 'users' table triggers the workflow.

Breakdown

Choose a database connection

Select the connection that you want to monitor. This connection must be preconfigured in your settings.

Pick a schema & table

Choose the schema and table to watch. Notika automatically infers the output shape of the data from the table structure.

Select trigger type

Decide whether the trigger should fire on new rows (insertions), updates, or both. For updates, you can optionally specify the columns to watch.

Note: the trigger only becomes active and applied to your table when you publish your workflow. Until then, no events will be logged.
