Triggers
A trigger decides when a published spinner runs.
Manual
Section titled “Manual”Run now on the Spinners page. Best for tests and on-demand campaigns.
Schedule
Section titled “Schedule”A cron-style schedule (for example nightly PCA intake). The runtime evaluates schedules; the API alone is not enough.
Use schedules when work should happen without someone clicking Run (overnight analysis, morning follow-ups).
Webhook / API
Section titled “Webhook / API”External systems can start a published spinner using an organization API key with trigger permission. Useful when a CRM event should kick off outreach immediately.
See API keys & webhooks.
