Triggers & Inputs
App Event Trigger Documentation
React to platform events like "Order Completed" or "User Registered" to automate post-processing workflows.
Quick Answer: What is the App Event Trigger Node?
[!NOTE] The App Event Trigger Node allows your workflow to react to things happening specifically within the ConvertUniverse platform. For example, you can set a workflow to run as soon as a user signs up for a Premium Plan or whenever a batch processing task is completed in their dashboard.
Core Capabilities
1. Automated Onboarding
Create a workflow that fires on user.created to generate a "Welcome Kit" PDF and email it to the user automatically using the Email Output Node.
2. Post-Processing Pipelines
Set a trigger for processing.success. When a user finishes converting a large batch of images, this trigger can automatically zip them and upload them to their Google Drive.
3. Usage Monitoring
Track platform usage by triggering a workflow that logs subscription.updated events into a Google Sheet for reporting.

Best Practices
- Permissions: Ensure your account has permission to listen for the selected event type.
- Scalability: For very high-frequency events, use a Wait Node to avoid triggering too many concurrent executions.
[!TIP] Integrating with non-platform apps? Use the Webhook Trigger Node if you want to respond to events from external services like Stripe or Shopify.
