Draggable elements

A drop area has a group dropped on it

This event triggers when a draggable element is dropped into a drag/drop group. Only elements marked as droppable can trigger it.

Element

The element that is being dropped into.

Type of thing

If the workflow needs to reference a database entry, define its type here. When set, the dropped group uses that entry as its data source. If the type defined here doesn't match the type of content of the dropped group, the workflow won't run.

Mouse & Keyboard Interactions

Mouse is clicked down

Triggers when a mouse button is clicked.

Click side

This event can respond to the left, middle or right buttons on the mouse.

Prevent default

If this event is triggered by the right mouse button, there is the option to prevent the default right-click behavior, which usually brings up the browser’s / system’s right-click menu.

User scrolls on a page

Triggers when a user scrolls on the page using a mouse wheel. This is explicitly not when a user manually move the page’s scrollbar up or down, but this means that this event can trigger on a mouse wheel scroll even on a page that’s not long enough to need a scrollbar.

Scroll direction

Choice of when the user scrolls up, down or in either direction

Trigger

This event can trigger either when the user begins their scroll or ends their scroll

Prevent default

If checked, the mouse wheel scroll will not actually scroll the page for the user, but will still run this workflow.

Tip: If you use this action in conjunction with the mouse’s X / Y positions, it will get a bit confusing whether the X / Y refers to before or after the scroll, so consider using the “prevent default” toggle.

User presses a key or a combination of keys

This event, found in the new events category “Interactions”, lets you create custom keyboard shortcuts for your apps. See below for which keyboard shortcuts are supported.

Keyboard shortcut

The combination of keys that when pressed, fires this workflow. Note that when you are focused on this field, it detects which key combination you are pressing, and you cannot manually edit the combo it detects.

These combos are supported:

  • A shortcut can have multiple of these keys together (often called modifier keys): Shift, Control, Option (Mac) / Alt (Windows), and Command (Mac) / Windows (Windows)

  • A shortcut can only ever have at most 1 of these keys: letters on an English keyboard, digits, tab, caps lock, a directional arrow, backspace, escape, page down / page up, F1-10, F12, + (via numpad), the symbols ` - = [ ] \ ; ‘ , /

  • These keys explicitly will not work: F11, Fn, Enter

  • Any special modifier key not in the list above will probably not work

  • Many keyboard shortcuts (especially ones with the Windows key) are reserved by the operating system and cannot be overwritten

  • Non-English keyboards will have special characters that generally do not work with this feature

Disable when input is focused

Lets you choose whether this custom keyboard shortcut should work when the user is focused in an input field
