New component event (drop-down) trigger

The New component event (drop-down) real-time trigger runs when a drop-down component is opened in a Workflow app. This trigger enables you to populate drop-down components with data from a third-party app. Use this trigger in combination with the Return data to component action to send data back to a drop-down component in a Workflow app.
