What Changed
Every workflow trigger now includes a clear, human-readable description directly inside the Workflow Builder.
These descriptions appear when:
Browsing available triggers
Selecting a trigger
Editing an existing trigger
Where to Find Trigger Descriptions
Trigger descriptions are displayed at the top of the trigger configuration panel.
Steps to view:
Go to Automations → Workflows
Create a new workflow or open an existing one
Click Add Trigger or select an existing trigger
View the description directly under the trigger name
The description explains:
What event the trigger listens for
When the trigger fires
Any important conditions tied to the trigger
How Trigger Descriptions Help
Trigger descriptions provide immediate clarity during workflow setup.
They help you:
Identify the correct trigger without external documentation
Understand trigger behavior before selecting it
Reduce setup errors caused by unclear trigger names
Build workflows faster with fewer assumptions
Example: Before vs After
Before
Triggers only displayed the name (e.g., “Task Completed”), requiring guesswork or documentation lookup.
After
Each trigger now includes a description (e.g., “Fires after a phone number passes or fails validation check”), making selection immediate and accurate.
Common Issues and Fixes
Trigger behavior is unclear
Check the description directly under the trigger name to confirm what event it listens for.
Selected the wrong trigger
Remove the trigger and reselect using the description as guidance.
Workflow not firing as expected
Re-read the trigger description to confirm the exact firing condition matches your use case.
