Automation Triggers are the first building block of an automation. Automation triggers define when an automation is run and will always run in the background regardless of if the Layer app is open.
To create an automation, navigate to the Automations heading the the left sidenav, and click to Create an Automation. Every automation requires exactly one trigger.
This trigger is run when any element is created within the specified category.
This trigger is run when a specific element is updated. Optionally, the trigger can watch for one or more specific fields on the element to be updated. If any specific field(s) are selected, the trigger will only fire when those field(s) are updated.
