Trigger management

Add triggers to a setup so people can use them in their stories.

Only Administrators can manage triggers.

Before anyone can use triggers in a story, an Administrator adds them to a setup. A trigger links a signal from the physical space, such as an RFID tag or a sensor, to your story. The signal reaches TSS through an integration that you or your integrator build. Check with TSC Support whether triggers are part of your plan.

We plan to open up the Gateway, our integration layer, later this year. Until then, contact TSC Support for the integration documentation.

Add a trigger

  1. Go to Settings > Triggers.

  2. Click Add Trigger.

  3. Fill in the Name. People see this name when they add a trigger event in the Composer.

  4. Choose the Setup the trigger is for. You can choose more than one.

  5. Fill in the ID. It must be exactly the same as the ID your integration sends, and unique across all your setups.

  6. Click Create Trigger.

You can change the name and ID later, but not the setups. To use a trigger on another setup, create a new trigger.

Once the triggers are added, a Triggers button appears in the top bar of the Composer for stories on that setup. See Adding triggers to connect them to your content.
