Basic trigger information

Set up basic information required for creating a trigger. Descriptions of each item in Basic trigger information are as follows:

• Name: enter the trigger's name by combining upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters "_" and "-". However, a hyphen (-) can't be used as the first letter. The name must be unique and not a duplicate of another resource (package, action, trigger) name

• Description: enter the description of the trigger to create

• Default parameter: you can enter a default parameter in JSON format which can be applied to actions by default rather than delivering a parameter every time an action is run. The default parameters of an action have a lower priority compared to trigger parameters and runtime parameters delivered at a trigger execution time.

The following is an example code of default parameters in JSON format.

{
  "name": "Ncloud",
  "place": "Cloud Functions"
}

Create external connection address

Set up an external connection address using NAVER Cloud Platform's API Gateway to enable remote execution of triggers. For more information on setup, see Create external connection address in Running action or trigger.

Set information for each trigger type to be created

Depending on the type of trigger to be created, set up additional information necessary for trigger execution. For more information on additional information setup, see the guide for each specific trigger type.

Connection information for each trigger type to be created
