Trigger

You might say: event, start condition, hook

The event that starts a run. It carries enough identity and context for the orchestrator to choose a task.

What it does

Converts a change in a tracker, git host, clock, monitor, or prior run into one dispatch decision.

Ask

Which event starts this task, which activity types count, and what stops the event from starting a duplicate run?

Typical

Ticket created or labelled, status moved, comment or mention, pull request opened, check failed, review submitted, schedule, run finished, monitor alert, or manual dispatch.

Trouble

A broad event fires too often, a self-written event loops, or a filtered event leaves work silently unhandled.

What to look for

1. An event name and activity type in a run record
2. A webhook delivery or schedule rule
3. A manual Run workflow control

Catalogue: Trigger kind

• Ticket created: A new ticket enters the tracker and starts intake or triage.
• Ticket labelled: A label is added to a ticket and selects a task such as implementation.
• Status moved: A ticket moves from one workflow state to another, such as Ready to In progress.
• Comment or mention: A new comment or an explicit mention asks a task to respond.
• Pull request opened: A new pull request starts checks or an automated review.
• Check failed: A check or commit status reports failure and starts diagnosis or rework.
• Review submitted: A reviewer submits an approval, request for changes, or comment on a pull request.
• Schedule: A clock starts a task at a configured time or interval.
• Run finished: A completed or requested run starts the next task in a chain.
• Monitor alert: A monitored signal crosses a threshold and asks the factory to investigate.
• Manual dispatch: A person presses a run control or sends a dispatch API call.
