Adding triggers

Create a workflow such that when a new list of items is created in Wunderlist, convert the title text to Spanish, and send the converted text to an email address.

Procedure

  1. Create a new workflow
    1. Create a new workflow to define a new trigger.
    2. Go to the project and create a blank workflow.
    3. Add a Google Translator connector and Send an Email action on canvas and connect them.
      If you are new to webMethods Integration, get more help on creating first workflow.
  2. Configure the Start icon
    Trigger is the starting point of a workflow. Therefore, the Start icon houses all the settings related to triggers.
    1. Hover on the Start icon.
    2. Click Settings to add and configure a trigger.
  3. Add Wunderlist
    You can view the list of all web services for which webMethods Integration supports the trigger events. Locate the Wunderlist service from the list of services, and click the service.
  4. Configure Wunderlist trigger
    Certain fields are common for every trigger.
    1. Trigger Label- Specify a suitable name for the trigger.
    2. Select trigger- Each service has multiple trigger actions to choose from. Select the trigger action of your choice from the list. For this example, select the Task Created trigger.
  5. Authorize Wunderlist
    Select the account for which you want to set up the trigger from the list. If you have not created an account yet, hover on the + icon. You can see two options.
    1. Default Authorization- Select this option to allow webMethods Integration to automatically generate all keys that are required to run all Wunderlist triggers and actions.
    2. Or- Select this option to provide the relevant keys that are required to run all Wunderlist triggers and actions.
    After you have entered the details, click Next. This redirects you to the trigger configuration window.
    You might see a few other fields, depending on the trigger you choose. You need to enter the relevant data in such fields to successfully set the trigger. View our categories on various service-specific triggers to get in-depth information on how to configure each trigger.
    After you enter data in all the fields, click Save to save your trigger. The specified trigger is created on webMethods Integration.
  6. Test the Wunderlist trigger
    You are redirected to the Test trigger window, where you can check whether you have configured the trigger settings properly.
    1. To test your trigger, you need to run the trigger action in the web service account for which you are setting up a trigger (these instructions can be seen in the Test trigger window as well). In this example, Wunderlist - Task Created trigger, you must create a new task in the specified list of your Wunderlist account.
    2. Go to your trigger in webMethods Integration and click Test given at the bottom of the Test trigger form. webMethods Integration fetches the data of the item that you created in your Wunderlist account.
    If you configure the trigger correctly, you see the output data for the trigger, showing how your trigger works when used in a workflow and which keys are returned in its output. The output data is then used to configure the rest of the workflow.
    You can alternatively skip testing the trigger. If you Skip testing the trigger, webMethods Integration uses the mock data for the trigger to configure the rest of the workflow.
    You can also set custom filters to specify the conditions, which must be met to run the workflow.
    Click the filters link given at the bottom of the trigger output. You can now set up custom triggers by using the sample output data returned.
