Trigger loop package

The Trigger loop package enables you to run a series of actions when a trigger event occurs. You can insert multiple trigger loops within a bot or nest one trigger loop within another trigger loop.

Actions in the Trigger loop package

Action Description
Trigger loop Opens the loop to run a series of actions when a trigger event occurs.
Note: Events within the Trigger loop follow a sequential order and any parallel events that occur during this time are queued.
Handle Specifies the trigger event and runs the actions that are inside the container when that event occurs.

Drag the Handle action into the Trigger loop (in Flow view) or below the Trigger loop (in List view).
Break Terminates the trigger loop for bot to continue with other actions in the trigger event. If there is no Break action after a trigger loop handle, the bot will go back to the start of the trigger loop and wait for the next configured action. So ensure you add the Break action to exit the trigger loop and move on to next action or else the bot will run indefinitely. For example, the Break action in a bot can be used when the user must close or cancel a form.

Drag the Break action into the trigger handle container.
