What are “always-on” triggers on automations?

What does Always-On mean?

These new commands are a game-changer for keeping your automations running seamlessly. “Always-On” means that both the logic that triggers Autobooks, and the Autobooks themselves, run in the cloud, instead of on your local machine. This ensures that your automation will run even if your computer is asleep. No more waiting around for your automations to kick in - they’re as reliable as ever, even when you’re not there.

Available Premium "When" Commands:

When website data changes

We’re introducing a new Always-On command that detects website changes and runs in the cloud! This set-and-forget command works regardless whether your computer is off or in sleep, and watches websites for changes to trigger any flow that you can imagine - like updating a Notion page, sending emails or notifications in Slack and a multitude of other actions, all in real time.

‍

When email is received in Gmail and When label is added to email in Gmail

Apart from greatly improved stability and performance of these triggers, both of these commands now also run in the cloud, which means that you don’t need to keep your computer on to start autobooks:

‍

When row is added or updated in Google Sheet

This command activates when new rows are added or updated in a Google Sheet, and like all other always-on commands, it keeps running in the cloud to start your workflows instantly when a change is detected in Google Sheets.

Other always-on commands introduced with this update are:
‍

When HubSpot company, contact, deal or product is created

These triggers watch Hubspot for new items and trigger a workflow as soon as the items are created. From sending notifications in Slack about new deals to enriching and qualifying new contacts, these new triggers will integrate seamlessly into your workflows to streamline your processes and ensure that you’re on top of your selling game.
‍

When Zoom recording is available

Executes as soon as Zoom meeting recordings are ready. Whenever you want to share your recordings automatically with all attendees, or archive them in Google Drive, or send them in email, this is the trigger to pick.
‍

When Airtable table changes

Triggered by any modifications in an Airtable table. 
‍

When Notion database record is added or updated

Starts workflows when a change is detected in Notion.
‍

When a scheduled event occurs

Kickstarts your workflow according to a custom schedule that you can define in the settings - like every weekday at 9 AM, or on the first Monday of every month and so on.

When an event is created or updated

Google Calendar: Now you can kick start workflows when an event is created or updated in your calendar. Want to get all information about meeting participants as soon as you accept the invitation? With Bardeen, it’s now easier than ever.
