Triggers for Assets

Triggers for Assets enables you to define specific conditions and configure actions such as initiating notifications, webhooks or custom actions for assets that satisfy these conditions. With triggers, you can also act upon third-party applications using webhooks or custom functions.

Triggers will not be executed during Asset Import, Workstation Import, and Asset Discovery via Probe/Self-Scan.

To configure triggers for Assets,

Go to Setup >> Automation >> Triggers.
Select Triggers for Assets in the drop-down.
Click New Trigger.
In the displayed form, provide a Name and Description for the trigger.
Select whether the trigger must execute when an asset is Created, Edited, or Deleted.
The Enable Trigger checkbox will be selected by default. Deselect this if you want to deactivate the trigger upon configuration.
Select the Asset Type to which the trigger applies from the drop-down list. You can apply the trigger to all assets or a specific asset type.

If you select an asset type, triggers configured for all assets will also be applied along with this trigger.

Under the Conditions section, select whether to Apply conditions based on criteria or to Apply no condition. Selecting Apply no condition will imply that the trigger applies to all assets in the application.
- If you choose to apply conditions based on criteria, provide the conditions using the drop-down lists.
Select whether to execute the trigger each time the criteria is met or only the first time. This option will be visible only if you choose to apply the trigger when the asset is edited.
Under Actions, choose the type of action the trigger must execute. You can choose either Task, Custom Functions, Webhook, or Notification or all of them, any number of times. Click here to learn more.
