  1. Choose a trigger action from the Then drop-down menu. Available trigger options are:

  • Create a task: Set the Task Title, Due Date, and Assignee(s).

  • Send an email: Enter the Subject, Recipient (To), and Body of the email.

  • Webhook (get): Send a GET request to a specified URL.

  1. Select Save.

Assign Trigger Task to Specific Users

For automation triggers that are configured to create a task:

  • In the Assignee(s) field, select List of Active Users. The User(s) field then displays.

  • Select which users the task will be assigned to in the User(s) field.

Trigger Variables

Similar to system variables used for macros, forms, and reminders, trigger variables allow you to customize automated email messages, task titles, and webhook requests.

When creating or editing a trigger, available variables for a trigger action display based on the selected If event.

Example: This trigger sends an email to a client when their appointment is canceled and includes their pet’s unique information in the body message.

The trigger applies to all appointment cancelations for all clients, so you don’t have to manually contact a client when their appointment changes.
