Triggers are how workflows are launched in Victoria AI. They determine when and how your workflow should run, making them an essential component of building automations.
There are currently three types of triggers available in Victoria AI:
Every active workflow automatically comes with a Chat trigger. This means that you can initiate your workflow simply by chatting with Victoria. This is a flexible and fast way to run workflows whenever you need them.
Schedule triggers allow you to run workflows automatically on a recurring basis. These are perfect for automations that need to happen at specific times or intervals.
When creating a schedule trigger, keep in mind:
Tip: Always make sure your workflow is tested and active before relying on schedule triggers for critical automations.
Webhook triggers let you start a workflow by sending an HTTP POST request to a unique URL. This makes it easy to connect external tools, platforms, or custom systems to your Victoria workflows.
You can optionally provide a callback URL when setting up the webhook trigger. If provided, Victoria will execute the workflow in the background and send the final result back to your system via an HTTP POST to the callback URL.
If no callback URL is provided, the system will process the workflow immediately and return the result directly in the webhook response.
Tip: If you’re integrating with platforms that have strict timeout limits on webhooks (like Slack or Stripe), using a callback URL is highly recommended.
By combining Chat, Schedule, and Webhook triggers, you can design workflows that respond to user input, run automatically, or react to external systems — all within Victoria AI.
