How to create a new trigger

2 different ways to create a new trigger on the cloud, both using the command new:
  • [Recommended]: create an trigger only by name and some optional flags:
    • --name: Must be unique on your cloud workspace.
    • --description: Description for your trigger.
    • --middleware: System middleware. Check help for available middleware.
    • --system-category: System category. Check help for available templates.
Usage: 
./heex trigger new --api-key <USER_SECRET_KEY> --name "Jane's trigger" --description "Optional description" --middleware 1 --trigger-category 1
  • [Advanced]: Another way to create a trigger is to use a configuration file that contains all the data you want to generate. This is still a beta feature under progress, so it is not recommended, but if you want to use it:
    • you can generate a template file using the ./heex trigger create-template-file command, and then fill the given file as you need.
    • Once it is filled, use the create subcommand with the --input-file input pointing to the filled file
Usage: 
./heex trigger new --api-key <USER_SECRET_KEY> --input-file path/to/your/filledConfigFile.json
⚠️ Warning: trigger name or description with special characters If your trigger name or description contains special characters (i.e ’ or space), please use double quotes before and after your names.
For example, for a trigger called Jane’s trigger, provide that as —name “Jane’s trigger”.
