1 autonumber Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Hi @Gigigigi, Task are operations that you can create in your application and run them manually or automatically based on a predefined schedule while Triggered Actions allow data manipulation, calculations, and sending notifications by constructing application logic with a visual interface. They will be executed on specified events to perform actions on data in your tables. You can also use Triggered Actions to transfer data from another table but if you have existing records it is recommended to use Task. eunha and BehNaman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 NiceDuck Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Just a short note to differentiate them: Triggers: Runs based on table activity (insert/update/delete) Is attached to a specific table as its parent Task: Runs on demand or on predefined Schedule.

0 Kronos Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Hi! I just want to add this here. Only the account owner and sub-users assigned to the Admin role can access and run Tasks. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 chumkirebzi Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 Hi! Just to add some examples. 1. Triggered Actions 2. Application Tasks The trigger depends on an insert/update on the AAAAllDataTypes table, while the task runs on demand (Or can be by schedule). The workflow will determine which feature to use. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 nyunyiboy Posted September 3 Report Share Posted September 3 Hi, Just to add to this. Use Triggered Actions when you need immediate, real-time automation directly tied to data changes. Use Application Tasks when you need to perform actions on a schedule or for batch processing, independent of real-time user interaction. You may also refer to these links for example: https://howto.caspio.com/triggered-actions/triggered-actions-2/ https://howto.caspio.com/tasks/ Hope this helps!
