Full definition of trigger
Triggers are the entry point of every automation. In Tiny Command, triggers come in two flavors: push triggers (a third-party app sends Tiny Command a webhook when something happens) and pull triggers (Tiny Command polls the app on a schedule). Push triggers fire within seconds. Pull triggers fire as often as the polling interval allows.
In practice
Trigger examples

Common questions about trigger
Are all triggers real-time?
Push triggers are real-time (sub-second to a few seconds). Polling triggers run on a fixed schedule, typically every 1-15 minutes.
