Add a Cache Event Trigger

Use a cache event trigger to run a flow when a given data object has a Create, Update, or Delete event.

Your integration must have a way to modify cache data to complete these steps. For a list of ways to do this, see Key Concepts (Cache).

1. In the flow builder, select Add Trigger. The Edit Trigger page opens.

2. In the Trigger type field, choose Cache Event.

3. In the Connector field, choose the connector that contains the cache event you want to use to define the trigger.

4. In the Trigger field, select the data object you want to use to define the trigger.

5. In the Subscribed Events field, choose the events to subscribe to for the selected trigger. The options are Create, Update, and Delete.

6. In the Event Origin field, choose the origins of the data to subscribe to for the selected trigger.

7. To limit your flow to run only when relevant criteria are satisfied, select Add Item in the Filter Expressions section and enter a value. Note that properties and values are always evaluated as strings, and only the Equals operator is supported. Filters cannot contain code, such as a reference to a flow config. Best practice is always to validate data at the beginning of a flow. 

For example, if you only want to trigger based on an open status, you would select the Status for the Property Name and the corresponding value OPEN for the Value. This is shown in Figure 1.

8. Select Save. The Edit Trigger page closes.

9. Select Save and Deploy to Staging, or select the arrow and Save Draft Version.

The trigger is added to your flow. Next, you can continue setting up your flow by adding Flow Steps.
