HTTP Trigger
An HTTP trigger is a mechanism that starts a pipeline when an HTTP request is received.
This can be:
different methods (Post, Get, Put, Delete, Patch) or request from another application
a webhook from 3rd party app or software
a manual trigger via a web interface
Pipeline: Push Dispatch Confirmation
Trigger: POST
Action steps: Transform (using Scriban Template)+ Loop Task (Call Service Provider) + Transform (using Scriban Template)+ Loop Task (Call Service Provider)
Special Variables for Data Access in a Transformer Step:
Use
{{ task.data }}to access the output from a previous task.Use
{{ trigger.data }}to access the original request data.
Cron Trigger
A CRON trigger in a pipeline is used to schedule automated tasks at specific times or intervals. It uses a specific syntax to define the schedule for running tasks.
Pipeline: Create Manifest
Trigger: schedule to run at midnight on the 17th day of every month, any day of the week
Action steps: Transform (using Scriban Template)+ Call Service Provider (TMS)
The CRON syntax consists of five fields representing different time units:
Minute (0-59)
Hour (0-23)
Day of the Month (1-31)
Month (1-12)
Day of the Week (0-7, where both 0 and 7 represent Sunday)
For example, the CRON expression 0 1 * * MON means the task will run at 1 AM every Monday.
Service Provider Trigger
A service provider trigger initiates a pipeline when a specific event occurs in the service.
Pipeline: Load Sales Order
Trigger: Start Task once Shopify order is PAID {Shopify webhook + service order paid}
Action steps: Transform using Scriban Template (Load Sales Order Mapping) + Call Service Provider (Seko360 Load Sales Order)
Pipeline Trigger
Setting up a pipeline trigger within another pipeline allows you to automate workflows by chaining pipelines together. The new pipeline will start after the completion of the pipeline trigger.
Filter Task
A Filter Task is used to filter a collection of items based on specified criteria. This is useful when you need to process only a subset of data that meets certain conditions.
Loop Task
A Loop Task allows you to repeat a set of actions for each item in a collection. This is useful for scenarios where you need to perform the same operation on multiple items.
Fork Task
A Fork Task is used to split the execution flow into multiple parallel branches. This is useful when you need to perform different tasks simultaneously.
