Selecting a Trigger When Creating a New Flow
When creating a flow, you have the option to either select an existing trigger or select one from the triggers palette.
Trigger configuration fields are categorized into two groups as explained below. A single trigger can be associated with multiple handlers.
- Trigger Settings - These settings are common for the trigger across all flows that use that trigger. If and when a flow attached to the trigger changes any Trigger Settings field, the change gets propagated to all flows attached to the trigger.
- Handler Settings - These settings apply to a specific flow attached to the trigger. Hence, each flow can set its values for the Handler Settings fields in the trigger. To do so, open the flow and click the trigger to open its configuration dialog. Click the Settings tab and edit the fields in the Handler Settings section.
Creating a Trigger When Another Trigger of the Same Type Exists
There may be cases when a specific type of trigger exists. For example, there might be a REST trigger that exists. When creating a REST flow, you are prompted to select the existing REST trigger or create a trigger by selecting it from the triggers palette. If you want a REST trigger with a different trigger setting than the one that exists, such as a different port or a security options, Select the Create new option and then select the trigger from the ensuing trigger palette. This creates a REST trigger and attaches your new flow to it.
