Utility Triggers start workflows from workflow events rather than Discord, ER:LC or Melonly activity.
They can run on a fixed schedule or when an external application calls the workflow.
A Timer trigger set to every 1 minute, connected to a Send Discord Message action

A Timer trigger

​
Blocks

Timer

Starts the workflow repeatedly after the configured number of minutes.Configuration
  • Minutes: A whole number from 1 to 10080.
The timer does not require any other event or condition to run.Use it when
  • A workflow should run repeatedly on a fixed schedule.

Webhook

Starts the workflow when an external application sends a request to the workflow’s webhook URL.Configuration
  • Webhook URL: The URL your application calls. Copy it from the trigger settings and keep it private. Click Rotate token if the URL is ever shared by mistake.
Use it when
  • A website, bot or other external tool should start a workflow.

​
Working With Utility Triggers

Timer workflows run automatically at the configured interval once the workflow is enabled. Webhook workflows run each time the webhook URL is called.

​
Example Workflow Flow

  1. The Timer trigger is configured to run every 60 minutes.
  2. The workflow starts automatically once each hour.
  3. The workflow checks the current ER:LC player count.
  4. If the server is active, it posts an hourly status message in the staff Discord channel.
