# New request trigger

The New request (real-time) trigger runs when there is a new request in a Workflow app.

This trigger also runs when a user creates a new record manually in a workflow app's corresponding data table.

# Input

You can also toggle Set trigger condition to only process trigger events matching conditions you specify.
