Hi, Is it possible to trigger a workflow after leaving an input field? (by clicking elsewhere) I am trying to find a way to trigger without needing to press enter, but also don’t want to send an API request after each key being pressed… Thanks! ---

You’re looking for the blur event, which is the opposite of focus (when you’re inside the field) ![Screenshot 2024-01-26 at 21.30.39](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/1/14468a85d52e98899537b6e7c0d0d6c63c9d2972.png) ---

Found it! 2 workflows: 1. to update a variable with field value ‘on change’ 2. to update database with variable ‘on blur’
