Cloud Trigger Events

Cloud trigger events are the conditions that cause a trigger to execute.

Each event type has a set of criteria you can specify to limit the things and conditions that can cause the trigger to execute. It is not necessary to specify values for all possible fields, and combinations of criteria are possible. For example, if a trigger applies to a specific thing, you only need to specify the thing key. In other cases, the trigger may apply to a group of things defined by thing definition, tags, or both thing definition and tags.

Different events have different arguments and available variables within the trigger. Selecting an event changes the interface and shows you what arguments are available to fine tune the event the trigger will respond to.
