What is the role of the "Flow Trigger" mechanism?

The role of the "Flow Trigger" mechanism is to specify the conditions under which a flow should be initiated. This is a fundamental aspect of Flow Designer in ServiceNow, as triggers determine when a flow should start to execute. Triggers can be based on various events, such as record creation, updates, or specific conditions being met. By defining the triggering conditions, users can ensure that flows run automatically without manual intervention, responding dynamically to changes in data or system events. This capability is crucial for automating workflows and improving process efficiency.

Understanding this mechanism allows users to design more effective and responsive automated processes tailored to specific needs, ensuring that actions are taken at the right times based on defined criteria.
