Using triggers and actions

Learn what triggers and actions you can use with Power Automate flow in the Microsoft Power Platform.

Overview

To automate your workflows, you can enable actions and triggers in Power Automate flow in the Microsoft Power Platform.

Triggers

Triggers are starting points that are selected by you in a connector that affects your actions. Check out these examples to see how triggers work.

You can use triggers through third-party connectors, as our custom connector doesn’t contain any at this time.

Actions

An action happens as a result of a trigger; it’s a response from a triggered event. Check out these examples to see how actions work.

You can use the following actions in the Dotdigital Custom Connector:

  • Create an address book
    Creates a new address book in your account.
  • Create a contact
