How do I trigger when a Wise transfer has a problem?
Short answer: Drop the "Wise → Transfer Issue" trigger on your workflow canvas, add filters if you want them, and publish. It fires within seconds of the event in Wise, not on a polling schedule.

FAQ
Questions about Transfer Issue.
How does the Transfer Issue trigger work in Wise?
Fires when a Wise transfer has an active issue (compliance hold, invalid recipient details, refund). Use it to alert ops and unblock the transfer quickly.
Is the Transfer Issue trigger real-time?
Yes. Transfer Issue uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Wise.
What data does Transfer Issue return?
The full event payload from Wise. 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 Transfer Issue 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 Wise admin permissions to use Transfer Issue?
For most Wise accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Wise plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Wise's docs if the trigger fails to register.
