Event-based, reactive triggers

Reactive triggers, or event listeners, allow you to listen and react to events within an app in order to automate the communication between two or more applications. Add and visualise all the triggers within an integration in your workspace. Examples of event types for Jira Cloud are: Issue created, issue updated, user deleted, worklog updated among others.

Manual and time-based Scheduled triggers

Scheduled triggers allow you to trigger scripts on a schedule, as opposed to triggering them manually by clicking on the play button next to a script in-app. Control how often a script is run with the option to run your scripts monthly, weekly, daily, hourly, every specified amount of minutes or in real-time—to align script runs with your specific requirements.

Managing your triggers

Scheduled triggers are set up using Cron format, which is well-suited for scheduling repetitive tasks and ScriptRunner Connect’s UI assists you with this process. Cron can schedule tasks down to the minute, ensuring that tasks are carried out exactly when needed offering you great flexibility, for example scheduling a script during off-peak hours.
