How SeaTable Trigger Works

How SeaTable Trigger Works

Turning Database Events Into Automated Actions

Under the Hood of Real-Time Automation

SeaTable Trigger creates a continuous monitoring system that instantly detects changes in your SeaTable database:

  1. Event Detection: The trigger constantly monitors your specified tables for new records, updates, or deletions
  2. Data Extraction: When changes occur, relevant data is automatically extracted
  3. Workflow Initiation: The trigger immediately launches your custom n8n workflow
  4. Execution: Your workflow processes the data and performs configured actions

This event-driven architecture eliminates polling inefficiencies and creates true real-time automation capabilities, with your workflows executing precisely when needed—not on arbitrary schedules.
