Hi All,

I have an interesting question -
Is it possible to trigger a workflow based on an entry in a Data Base?
If Yes can you also provide some link which might be helpful

Thanks

No. You’d have to have a job running constantly looking for the entry.

Hi @postwick
Means i need to create a workflow which will be up and running all the time just to check if there was an entry in the data base which will then initiate another job, am i right?

Yes.

There is another, albeit complicated, possibility. You could write a trigger on the database table on insert, and have that trigger call the Orchestrator API to create an item in an Orchestrator Queue, then have a queue trigger kick off the job.
