Overview

Triggers are the backbone of automation in Taskade. They are predefined conditions that, when met, initiate a series of automated actions within. Essentially, they're the "if" part of an "if this, then that" equation, monitoring for specific events or changes.

The Four Categories of Triggers

Taskade triggers fall into four categories. Pick the one that matches where the event originates:

Event happens Where? Inside TaskadeTask ยท Project ยท Comment ยท Field External appGmail ยท Slack ยท GitHub ยท Shopify ยท ... Time-basedSchedule ยท Delay InboundWebhook ยท Mailhook ยท Form Filter / Branch / Loop Actions run

Every trigger in Taskade fits one of these four categories. Once the trigger fires, the Automation v2 engine pipes the event through filters, branches, and loops before dispatching to actions across 100+ integrations.
