Triggering Workflows
Triggering workflows in Paragon
All Paragon workflows start with a trigger, which determines when the workflow will run and how data is passed into the workflow.
Click into any of the triggers below to learn more about the trigger type and how to configure it for your workflow.
App Event
Use one event from your app to trigger workflow(s) across any integrations.
Example: “Contact Created” event from your app routes to Salesforce, HubSpot, or Pipedrive (depending on what integrations are connected)
Request
Send an HTTP request from your app to a specific integration and workflow, optionally receiving a synchronous response.
Example: Expose an HTTP endpoint to a workflow that searches Google Drive documents and returns results to your app.
Integration Trigger
Listen for events from your users’ integrations, using our prebuilt triggers or Custom Webhooks.
Example: Listen for new contacts that are created in your user’s Salesforce account.
Integration Enabled
Trigger a workflow when an integration is initially connected and set up by your user.
Example: Create custom fields in your user’s HubSpot account after they have connected the integration.
Scheduler
Trigger a workflow on a recurring schedule.
Example: Every day at 12:00 AM, export all Pipedrive activities that were created in the last 24 hours and send them to your app.
API Resource Trigger
Listen for webhooks from your configured Resources, such as your internal API.
Example: Listen for a User Created webhook to fire from your app.
