FAQ

What is the difference between non-empty field conditions and filter conditions?

1. Non-empty field conditions require selected fields to already contain values when the new record is created.
2. Filter conditions further check whether field values meet specific rules.
3. If you need both required values and value-based rules, you can use both types of conditions together.

Does the trigger run immediately after a record is added?

1. After a new record is created, the workflow starts according to the enabled automation settings.
2. If network status, permissions, or workflow configuration affect execution, timing may vary slightly.
3. It is a good idea to test with sample records before using the workflow in regular work.

What should I do if the trigger fails?

1. Open the related automation log or workflow record first and check the failure reason.
2. Confirm that the target table, field settings, and filter conditions are still valid.
3. Make sure the current account has the required access to the related table and workflow, then test again.
