Workflow Triggers

Workflow Triggers

Overview

A workflow trigger is a plugin that enhances an action in the workflow process by executing code as the transition from a source step to a destination step occurs. It encapsulates some system logic to accomplish a non-workflow related function.

Cascade CMS comes with a series of pre-defined triggers, and custom plug-in triggers may also be added to execute custom code during a step transition. More than one workflow trigger may be attached to a workflow action.

A trigger may be enhanced by a parameter, which is an optional element that further specifies the system logic that should occur.
