Workato Integrations: Triggers and Actions

As described in the Workato Integrations: Overview, Workato recipes use conditional logic to “speak” between Core and third-party applications. 

Recipes start with a Trigger, which can be set at a pre-set timed frequency. For example, when someone creates a new incident in Jira, Workato starts polling our database to see if those objects were indeed created.

After the incident object was created, a Core-Workato Action follows and retrieves an indicator from Core. Many Resolver Core Connector actions exist (e.g., search rows in a Google sheet) and the main ones are detailed below.
