Triggers and workflows

Learn about the difference between triggers and workflows.

Triggers are used to automatically apply changes to the database, either interactively or in the background. Triggers are initiated by events in the database (e.g. changes to a record).

Workflows can also display data in the database, in addition to manipulating data. Workflows are initiated by commands (e.g. clicking on a button).

You can incorporate triggers in workflows.

For more information, refer to Triggers in the Web Administrator Guide.
