Apptivo’s Suppliers App is a brilliant tool introduced solely to manage the database on Suppliers. Suppliers form the base for the smooth running of a business. They ensure the availability of products. However, the information related to Suppliers tends to change with Apptivo. Instead of checking the data manually, Apptivo makes use of the Time Based trigger functionality to achieve this.
Consider sending an email as a trigger when an event occurs in the Suppliers App.
- Go to Settings → Suppliers → Triggers → Time Based Triggers. In the Time Based trigger page, select Create to create a new trigger.
- In the Create Trigger page, add a name for the trigger. Then, configure the Execution Frequency. You can set it as One Time or Recurring.
For Instance: Consider creating a one-time trigger in Suppliers App.
- In the Run On section, you can set the date and time when the trigger has to be sent.
- Once the basic configuration is complete, add criteria for the trigger in the Criteria section.
- Here, the condition is set to perform an action when the Supplier Name is Mike.
- You can also add more than one condition by making use of the Add Condition feature.
- Now, you can decide on the Action that has to be performed when the condition match.
