Trigger nodes are the starting points of your automation graphs. When a trigger condition is met, a signal is sent down the graph to execute actions.

App State Trigger

Fires when specific application events occur.
  • Setup: Add the node and select the state (e.g., App Launched, Live Mode Enabled, Tab Changed).
  • Features: Useful for resetting variables when entering Live Mode or sending initialization commands to consoles when Relay starts.

PCO Plan Updated

Triggers when your connected Planning Center plan changes.
  • Setup: Select your PCO Service Type and Plan.
  • Features: You can trigger on any update, or use the live item picker to filter for specific item changes (e.g., firing a lighting cue exactly when the “Sermon” item goes live).

Time

Triggers based on the system clock.
  • Setup: Choose between a specific Time of Day or a recurring Interval (e.g., every 5 minutes).
  • Features: Great for automated health checks, network pings, or daily reset routines.

dB Threshold

Fires when an audio input crosses a specific decibel threshold.
  • Setup: Select a measurement input from your Global Audio Settings, set the target dB level, and choose whether to trigger when going above or below the threshold.
  • Features: Useful for auto-muting channels, triggering visual alerts on the dashboard, or logging loud events.

Manual Trigger

Fires when an operator interacts with the dashboard.
  • Setup: Add a Button module to a dashboard tile. Then, add a Manual Trigger node and link it to that specific button.
  • Features: Allows operators to manually launch complex automation sequences (like a “Pre-Service Setup” macro) with a single click.

BETA FEATURES

Word Triggers [BETA]
