Triggers are buttons in the admin UI that call external URLs.
Use them for actions editors need to start manually, such as:
- rebuilding a static site
- purging a cache
- syncing content to another service
- notifying a downstream workflow
Trigger targets should be idempotent when possible. Editors may retry a failed run.
Create a trigger
- Open Settings > Triggers.
- Create a trigger.
- Add a clear name and button label.
- Enter the target URL.
- Save and run it once.
Keep trigger labels concrete
Good labels tell the editor what will happen:
Rebuild marketing sitePurge production cacheSync catalog
Avoid labels such as Submit, Run, or Execute.
Success check
The trigger is ready when the admin UI shows a successful run and the downstream system receives the request.
