How will Component Triggers work and how will they be used?

Mostly, the trigger component seems to be a thing to differentiate between the various event your component can emit. This way, you don’t trigger the same event 30 times with different data.

Trigger is an event name, and inside your component you can use the “Trigger” action to emit one of this event with a payload. Outside of your component, on each instance, you can add a workflow and select the trigger here to react to any logic of your component

So … where I am stuck is I don’t get the option to select the component like you are doing in your screenshot. I will try a few more things …

For now (as far as I know) you can’t trigger the actions for the Custom Components

What is available now is trigger. Your component is responsible to emit an event, and you can listen to it outside, and execute your external logic when your component trigger the event. Equivalent with existing custom component: on Marker click for the map, on value change of input, etc What is n…
