Systems, Methods, Applications, and User Interfaces for Providing Triggers in a System of Record

Abstract

Systems, computer-implemented methods, applications, user interfaces, and tangible non-transitory computer readable media for providing triggers in a system of record are disclosed. For example, a computer-implemented method may include maintaining a trigger associated with an application where the trigger comprises a set of conditions and a set of operations associated with a custom computer language that is supported by the application, evaluating the conditions associated with the trigger based on an occurrence of an event associated with the application, determining that the conditions associated with the trigger are satisfied based on the evaluating of the conditions, and executing the operations associated with the custom computer language based on determining that the conditions of the trigger are satisfied. For example, execution of such operations may include performing one or more actions in association with the application and/or one or more third-party applications that are integrated with the application.
