Trigger Components Triggers are the starting point of every automation. They define when your automation runs by listening for specific events in your Statisfy data.
How Triggers Work When a trigger event occurs:
The trigger component receives the event with the entity ID
It loads the full entity data from the database
It establishes the Flow Context with entity information
It outputs a Data object containing the entity details
Connected downstream nodes begin executing
Every automation must have exactly one trigger. You cannot have multiple triggers or start an automation without one.
Account Segment V2 Triggers when an account enters or exits a specified segment.
When to Use
Alert when accounts become at-risk
Notify when accounts qualify for upsell
Take action when account criteria change
Configuration Field Description Segment Select the account segment to monitor Trigger On Enter, Exit, or Both
Output Data { "account_id" : "acc_123" , "account_data" : { "name" : "Acme Corp" , "owner_name" : "Jane Smith" , "owner_email" : "jane@company.com" , "health_score" : 75 , "arr" : 150000 , "renewal_date" : "2024-06-15" , "custom_fields" : { ... } } }
Flow Context Sets account_id (the account identifier) and account_data (the full account object) for downstream nodes. Use @account_id to reference the ID and @account_data.field_name to access account properties.
Task Segment V2 Triggers when a task matches specified criteria or enters a segment.
When to Use
Alert when tasks become overdue
Notify when high-priority tasks are created
Escalate tasks based on criteria
Configuration Field Description Segment Select the task segment to monitor Task Types Filter by specific task types (optional)
Output Data { "task_id" : "task_456" , "task_data" : { "title" : "Follow up on renewal" , "status" : "Open" , "priority" : "High" , "due_date" : "2024-03-01" , "assignee" : "john@company.com" , "description" : "..." }, "account_id" : "acc_123" , "account_data" : { ... } }
Flow Context Sets task_id (the task identifier), task_data (the full task object), account_id (the associated account identifier), and account_data (the associated account object) for downstream nodes. Use @task_data.field_name to access task properties and @account_data.field_name for account properties.
User Segment V2 Triggers when a user/contact enters or exits a specified segment.
When to Use
Alert when a champion leaves
Identify new power users
Track user engagement changes
Configuration Field Description Segment Select the user/people segment to monitor
Output Data { "user_id" : "user_789" , "user_data" : { "name" : "John Doe" , "email" : "john@acme.com" , "title" : "VP of Engineering" , "account_id" : "acc_123" , "last_activity" : "2024-02-15" } }
Flow Context Sets user_id (the user identifier) and user_data (the full user object) for downstream nodes. Use @user_id to reference the ID and @user_data.field_name to access user properties.
Triggers when a contact matches specified segment criteria.
When to Use
Identify key stakeholders
Track contact engagement
Alert on contact role changes
Configuration Field Description Segment Select the contact segment to monitor
Output Data Similar to User Segment, contains contact details including name, email, title, and associated account information.
Opportunity Segment V2 Triggers when an opportunity enters or exits a segment.
When to Use
Alert on deal stage changes
Notify when opportunities become at-risk
Track expansion opportunities
Configuration Field Description Segment Select the opportunity segment to monitor
Output Data { "opportunity_id" : "opp_123" , "opportunity_data" : { "name" : "Acme Corp - Expansion" , "stage" : "Negotiation" , "amount" : 50000 , "close_date" : "2024-04-30" , "probability" : 75 , "owner" : "sales@company.com" } }
Process Activity V2 Triggers after a customer activity is processed by Statisfy’s activity engine.
When to Use
React to specific customer activities
Trigger workflows based on engagement
Process activity-driven automations
Configuration Field Description Activity Types Filter by specific activity types (optional) Sources Filter by activity source (optional)
Output Data { "activity_id" : "act_456" , "activity_data" : { "type" : "Meeting" , "source" : "Calendar" , "timestamp" : "2024-02-20T10:00:00Z" , "participants" : [ "john@acme.com" , "jane@company.com" ], "summary" : "..." }, "account_id" : "acc_123" , "account_data" : { ... } }
Flow Context Sets activity_id (the activity identifier), activity_data (the full activity object), account_id (the associated account identifier), and account_data (the associated account object) for downstream nodes. Use @activity_data.field_name to access activity properties and @account_data.field_name for account properties.
Activity Segment V2 Triggers when activities match segment criteria.
When to Use
Monitor for specific activity patterns
Alert on activity anomalies
Track engagement thresholds
Configuration Field Description Segment Select the activity segment to monitor
Meeting Segment V2 Triggers when meetings match specified criteria.
When to Use
Follow up after customer meetings
Track meeting frequency
Alert on missed meetings
Configuration Field Description Segment Select the meeting segment to monitor
Output Data Contains meeting details including participants, time, duration, and associated account information.
Project Segment V2 Triggers when a project enters or exits a segment.
When to Use
Alert on project health changes
Track implementation progress
Monitor onboarding projects
Configuration Field Description Segment Select the project segment to monitor
Output Data Contains project details including name, status, tasks, and associated account information.
Scheduler V2 Triggers on a scheduled time basis (cron-style scheduling).
When to Use
Run daily/weekly reports
Periodic data updates
Scheduled batch operations
Configuration Field Description Schedule Cron expression or preset schedule Timezone Timezone for schedule evaluation
Output Data { "triggered_at" : "2024-02-20T09:00:00Z" , "schedule" : "0 9 * * *" }
Scheduler triggers don’t have entity context. You’ll need to use processing nodes to fetch the data you need.
Common Trigger Patterns Pattern: Segment + Condition Combine segment triggers with conditions for fine-grained control:
Account Segment → Condition (ARR > 100K) → Action
Pattern: Multi-Entity Context When you need data from multiple entities:
Task Segment → (has account_data from context) → Send Email
Pattern: Scheduled + Data Fetch For scheduled operations that need entity data:
Scheduler → SQL Query (fetch accounts) → Loop through results
