Replace Trigger

Replace Trigger allows you to change the current trigger type in your automation to a different one. This topic explains how to replace a trigger, configure the new trigger, and resolve validation errors.

Replace

Replace Trigger allows you to change the current trigger type in your automation to a different one.

Choose trigger type:

  • Log Trigger - Starts the automation when a specific log event occurs.

  • Webhook Trigger - Starts the automation when data is sent to a webhook endpoint.

  • Scheduled Trigger - Starts the automation based on a predefined schedule (for example, daily or hourly).

Configuring the New Trigger

  • The system creates the new trigger immediately for a Webhook Trigger.

  • For all other trigger types, enter the required parameters in the trigger window and click Save.

Note:
When you replace a trigger, the Example Output associated with the previous trigger is removed. Any steps in the automation that rely on fields from that output displays validation errors.

Resolving Validation Errors

When you replace a trigger, steps that reference fields from the previous trigger may display validation errors. These errors occur because the referenced fields are not available in the new trigger's output example.

To resolve these errors:

Note:
Notes -

  • All references in dependent steps must match the fields defined in the trigger's Example Output.

  • You can either add old field names to the new example output or update the dependent steps to use the new field names.

  1. In the trigger step, click .
  2. Click Replace Trigger.
  3. Choose the new trigger type and click Add.

    A warning message appears

    Note:
    Replacing a trigger permanently deletes all previous trigger data. This action cannot be undone.
  4. Click Continue.
  5. Remove unused references
    1. Open the step that shows the validation error.
    2. Remove any references to fields from the previous trigger that are no longer required.
    3. Save the step.
  6. Update output example and references
    1. Open the new trigger configuration.
    2. In the Example Output, add all required fields that are referenced by dependent steps.
    3. If the new trigger uses different field names, update the references in the dependent steps to match the new field names.
    4. Save the changes.
  7. Create the webhook.
  8. Open Webhook Parameters and review the Automation Expected Payload.
  9. Use this payload as a guideline for the required fields.
  10. Update the Example Output with all necessary fields.
  11. Click Save.

    The system automatically resolves validation errors.

    Note:
    The expected payload is only a structural guideline. It does not represent the actual payload your webhook sends.
