Events

What automation rule events are, how category and type work, and how to select an event in the rule wizard.

Automation rules start from a system event: a change or logical signal in SandsBytes (for example a record created, updated, or deleted). This page explains how events are modeled and how you pick one when you create or edit a rule.

Event Category and Type

  • Event category is usually named like a database table (source of the change).
  • Event type is often create, edit, or delete for direct table operations.

Selecting an Event in the UI

When you create or edit a rule, the stepper includes a Triggers step (step 2 in the default flow):

  1. Open Event category and Event type controls. The UI only offers combinations from the event registry.
  2. Choose the pair that matches the situation you want to automate (for example the table or logical entity, and create / edit / delete or another registered type).
