Creating Dashboard Triggers
Dashboard triggers allow external systems or users to initiate GWE workflows directly from the Ema dashboard using structured, customizable input fields. Dashboard workflows can also be triggered via APIs.
Key Features
- Multiple input types -- You can define Text, Number, Boolean, Enum (dropdowns), and Document inputs for each trigger, allowing rich data intake tailored to workflow needs.
- Custom names and descriptions -- You can assign custom names and descriptions to each input. Inputs tied to mandatory fields in the workflow are auto-marked as required, and additional fields can be marked manually to enforce data integrity.
- API invocation -- Triggers can be invoked via externally exposed APIs, enabling seamless integration with external apps or systems. Each API call creates or updates a dashboard row and returns all published inputs and outputs as part of the response.
