07/07/2023, 1:45 AMHey @careful-keyboard-68830, the Triggers are meant to start conversations/workflows when sometime outside of the bot happens. Let's suppose there is a new user in your system and you want to send them a message somewhere, you would add a Webhook integration, and make requests to the webhook, that would be picked up by your Trigger and some processing would happen in your bot

07/07/2023, 1:45 AMPeople are using Zapier Tables a lot. You could add the Zapier integration and make a trigger for it, so that when there is a new row in the table, it notifies Botpress and the bot will do something
