A trigger specifies when a pipeline should start running. To define your Trigger, consider how often you want data to be extracted from a source, transformed or sent to a destination, depending on what you are setting up (a source, a transformation or a destination, respectively). This decision usually depends on how frequently you need the output table data updated (every day, once a week, only at specific times, etc.).

The types of trigger

  1. Schedule: define at which day(s) and time the pipeline is going to be executed.

  2. Event: select a pipeline as reference. As soon as the selected pipeline finishes a successful execution, the new pipeline will be triggered.

  3. Manual: make sure the pipeline will only be triggered when you decide. You’ll be able to do it through our platform whenever you want.
