FAQ
Questions about Post Updated.
How does the Post Updated trigger work in Typeflo?
Fires whenever an existing Typeflo post is updated. Use to re-share on social, bust caches in your CDN, or re-syndicate to your newsletter.
Is the Post Updated trigger real-time?
Yes. Post Updated uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Typeflo.
What data does Post Updated return?
The full event payload from Typeflo. 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 Post 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 Typeflo admin permissions to use Post Updated?
For most Typeflo accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Typeflo plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Typeflo's docs if the trigger fails to register.
