Adding Workflow Trigger Filters

The platform's Filters feature allows users to apply a specific trigger to a workflow. Without a filter, the workflow will only trigger the default behaviour.

Each workflow trigger has its filter, accessed by clicking on the filter icon below the relevant trigger. Once clicked, users can choose from the available filter options specific to that particular workflow trigger. This customisation option helps businesses tailor their workflows to meet their unique requirements.
