Overview

One or more conditions can be set for a trigger for a named event in the workflow.When the named workflow event occurs the trigger will check that any required condition is met, and if met set one or more actions.

Conditions

A condition must be met for the trigger to perform the specified action(s). Available conditions are

  • "state": "(string value)"

  • "initial": (boolean true/false)

  • "final":(boolean true/false)

If "final" condition is added together with another condition to an event, the condition is evaluated as an OR function.

JSON ConditionJSON CodeNote

"state": "(string value)"

"conditions":
[
	{"state": "Review"}
],

The trigger action will occur if the condition matches the provided "state".

  • specified state name must exist in the current workflow
  • only one state can be specified
  • only one "state": "statename" can be added as a condition for each event

"initial": (boolean true/false)

"conditions":
[
	{"final":true}
],

The trigger action will occur if the state for the event is the final state.

For example, 

  • "event":"on-change-state", "conditions":[{"final":true}],

This "on-change-state" event condition is met on the the change to the final state in the workflow.

The final parameter value is boolean

  • "final":true
  • "final":false

If final condition is added to an event with a state condition, the conditions are evaluated as an OR condition.

"final":(boolean true/false)

"conditions":
[
	{"initial":true}
],

The trigger action will occur if the current state is the initial change to a state.

The initial condition can be constrained to a named state

  • "conditions":[{"initial":true},{"state":"Review"}],

The initial parameter value is boolean

  • "initial":true
  • "initial":false


Example on-change-state event

"triggers":
[
    {"event": "on-change-state",
    "conditions":
    [
        {"initial":true},{"final":true}
    ],
    "actions":
    [
        {"action": "clean-messages"}
    ]}
]

If adding the JSON trigger using workflow builder visual builder there is no need to include the opening "triggers": JSON markup notation, since it will be added by workflow builder.

The trigger action will clear any existing messages on the content

  • "actions":[{ "action":"clean-messages"}],

The action will occur on the change of state event if the current state is either the initial state OR the final state in your workflow.

  • "conditions":[{"initial":true},{"final":true}],

If a JSON condition is present this can include one or more conditions.

Example on-approve event

"triggers":
[
	{"event": "on-approve",
	"conditions":
	[
		{"state":"Review"}
	],
	"actions":
	[
		{"action":"change-state",
			"state":"Published"}
	]}
]

If adding the JSON trigger using workflow builder visual builder there is no need to include the opening "triggers": JSON markup notation, since it will be added automatically by workflow builder.

The trigger action will cause a change of state

  • "actions":[{ "action":"change-state"}],

The trigger action will occur on the approve event but ONLY if the current state is the Review state

  • "conditions":[{"state":"Review"}],

If a JSON condition is present this can include one or more conditions but only ONE state condition can be used for each event.
