This platform and the Triggers available are still in BETA. This means they may be subject to change. If that happens, please update usage of the Triggers in your Project accordingly.

Documentation of the library and the available Triggers is ongoing, and may be incomplete.

What is a Trigger

A Trigger is a functionality in the Tygron Platform, to make it easier to connect external calculation models or other tools to any Project in the Platform. Whenever a calculation takes place within a session, the Triggers defined in the Project will prompt the Tygron Platform to send a web request to a specific url. A server listening for these web requests can then inspect the session, extract the data neccesary for the intended calculations, perform those calculations, and provide an applicable response to the Platform.

The benefit of a Trigger is that it allows Project creators to directly connect external tools to their Projects, without the need for their applications to be manually activated remotely. This means the Projects themselves can make use of those external tools at any time, and the end users of those Projects get a more consistent and user-friendly experience.

How to use Triggers

Triggers can be made by any end-user. They require a server accessible via the internet with a standard web request, and for the URL of that server to be added to the data of a Project as a Trigger. The development of the server does require the ability to both write code and to host it online.

Triggers in this library are readily available and can be used in any Tygron Platform Project. They can easily be added to any Project by following these steps:

  1. Determine which Project you would like to add the Trigger to. Open this Project in Editor mode.
  2. Determine which Trigger you would like to add to the Project. You can browse the library by clicking "library" at the top of this page.
  3. Click on "more information" for the Trigger you would like to add. This will open a page with more information.
  4. Click on "Installation and Usage" to view the instructions for which settings to configure, assets to add to your Project, and further instructions as applicable.
  5. Add a "Trigger" Item to your Project. Copy the url found on the Trigger's page in the Library into the url field for the Trigger in the Editor.
  6. Configure the "Type", "Timing", "Method", and "Timeout" as recommended on the Trigger's page.
  7. Click on 'test url' in the Editor. A screen will open which will display the results the Tygron Platform receives back under the current circumstances.
