How do I trigger when a Taiga task changes?
Short answer: Drop the "Taiga → Task Updated" trigger on your workflow canvas, add filters if you want them, and publish. It fires within seconds of the event in Taiga, not on a polling schedule.

FAQ
Questions about Task Updated.
How does the Task Updated trigger work in Taiga?
Fires whenever a task in Taiga is edited, reassigned, or moved between statuses. The payload carries the new field values so you can branch on what actually changed.
Is the Task Updated trigger real-time?
Yes. Task Updated uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Taiga.
What data does Task Updated return?
The full event payload from Taiga. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.
Can I filter Task Updated so only some events start a workflow?
Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.
Do I need Taiga admin permissions to use Task Updated?
For most Taiga accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Taiga plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Taiga's docs if the trigger fails to register.
