Event-Driven Triggers

Event-driven triggers let your assignments start automatically when something happens in a connected service—no manual kick-off required.

Key Capabilities

  • Inbox triggers: Start a Job whenever a new email arrives in Gmail or Microsoft Outlook

  • Sender filtering: Restrict triggers to emails from a specific address or domain

  • Per-user setup: Each team member configures their own trigger using their own connected account

How to Use It

  1. Open your assignment in the Duvo workspace and navigate to the Setup tab.

  2. Find the connection that supports triggers (Gmail or Microsoft Outlook) in the Connections section.

  3. Toggle the trigger on. A settings modal opens automatically.

  4. Configure your filter (optional): enter a sender email address to restrict which incoming emails start a Job.

  5. Click Save. The trigger is now active and your assignment will start a new Job each time a matching email arrives.

To pause a trigger, toggle it off. To change the filter, toggle it off and back on to re-open the modal.

When to Use It

  • Customer request processing: Start a Job automatically when a customer emails a support address

  • Order intake: Kick off purchase order processing the moment an order email arrives

  • Report distribution: Trigger data collection or summary jobs when a scheduled report lands in your inbox

  • Vendor alerts: React to supplier notifications or price change emails without delay

How It Works

When you enable a trigger, Duvo monitors your connected inbox for new incoming emails. When a matching email arrives, Duvo starts a new Job for your assignment and passes the email content as context. Your assignment's SOP then processes the email and carries out the workflow.

Triggers are per-user and use the email account you have connected under your profile. Each team member who wants their inbox monitored must enable the trigger individually using their own connection.
