What is a Trigger?
Triggers are rules invoked when there is an incoming call, mail, chat, sms, fax or openchannel message. Triggers are made up of conditions and actions. A condition is a logical expression that can only take the values true or false. You build conditions using properties of the event, an operator and the event value. The following is an example of a condition for an incoming call:
Call Status Equals Call Ringing
which take the value true if the status of the call is equal to ringing. I the same way, you can define conditions based on properties of an incoming mail, chat....and so on. For more information, take a look at trigger conditions section dedicated
for the specific channel.
