Triggers And Conditions

Logic Layer

Choose the Right Trigger and Filter

PrimeCal automation rules start with a trigger, then optionally narrow the event with conditions. The trigger list includes event lifecycle, calendar import, scheduled, webhook, and relative-time options.

Filtering Tips​

  • Use contains for titles and descriptions that can vary slightly.
  • Use is empty and is not empty for presence checks.
  • Use in list when you want a rule to match any value in a set.
  • Use webhook.data when the rule is driven by an external JSON payload.
