Trigger Events from other Applications to Run Playbooks

A configure trigger maps a label to an event to automatically execute a Playbook on the occurrence of an event. You can create a configure trigger by configuring the event source app, source event type, and label. The configure trigger must be in active status to execute associated Playbooks on the occurrence of an event.

Example:

If you want to execute a Playbook when a potential phishing email is sent to your organization's email server, then you can create a trigger which executes a Playbook. The executed Playbook scans your organization's email server and quarantines a users email account that have received a phishing email.

Before you Start

Ensure that you have created a label to associate with an event.

For more information about creating a label, refer to Configure Labels in Orchestrate
