Now that we have learned how to set Methods and Parameters, it’s time to have a look at Triggers.
What is a Trigger?
A Trigger, also called a ‘Dynamic Lookup’, allows you to add dynamic lookups for the required fields for your Methods.
With a Cyclr Connector, you may often have fields or parameters which are required before a method can be run. You cannot Update or Delete a Contact without the ContactID, for example. With what we have learned so far, you’d first need to use a List Contacts method to find the required ID, to then copy and paste it into the relevant input.
Triggers offer an easier way to do this, as they allow you to use the List method to dynamically lookup the list of available ID’s. This way, following the Contact ID example, users would only need to select the desired ID from a dropdown list.
However, this means that you will have to already have defined a method in the connector in order to be able to trigger it. The trigger will then use that method once the connector is authenticated to allow a look up and select.
