Triggers, Events, and Functions

Triggers are used to respond to an event. Create triggers to associate Functions with Events. Let's say you want to trigger an email when a bug is created. You can create a send mail function. Next, create a trigger and associate the send mail function with the create a bug event. An email will be sent when a bug is created. Zoho BugTracker supports the following events:

  • Run an extension
  • Stop and extension
  • Install an extension
  • Uninstall an extension
  • Disable an extension
  • Enable an extension
  • Update an extension
  • Upgrade an extension
  • Delete a bug
  • Create a bug
  • Add comment to a bug
  • Update a bug field
