Triggers in Zoho Tables are automated conditions that start a workflow when certain events occur. As of now, Zoho Tables supports four types of triggers:


When a record is created  

This trigger activates immediately after a new record is added to the table.

Examples

  • Send a welcome email when a new customer record is added.

  • Auto-assign a default status or owner when a task is created.

  • Log record creation in an audit trail or activity tracker table.


When a record is updated  

This trigger runs whenever an existing record is modified, either manually or through automation.

Examples

  • Notify the team when a task status changes to Completed.

  • Update dependent fields when a priority or category is changed.


When a record enters a view  

This trigger activates when a record starts to meet the conditions of a specific view—meaning it wasn't in that view before, but now it is.

Examples

  • Automatically notify or tag a record when it meets High Priority filter criteria.

  • Trigger an email alert when a record enters a Delayed view based on date fields.

  • Launch follow-up actions when a record qualifies for a Ready for Review view.


Run on a schedule  

This is a time-based trigger that runs at a fixed interval or on a specific schedule.

Examples

  • Send daily reminders for overdue tasks.

  • Run weekly reports on active projects.

  • Perform batch updates.
