Triggers View

See every automation trigger in your organization in one sortable view, with fire counts, last run times, and status.

Introduction

The Triggers view lists every trigger in your organization in a single sortable table. Instead of opening automations one at a time to find out what starts them, you can see every trigger at once — which automation it belongs to, how many runs it has started, when it last ran, and whether it’s active.

Use it to spot your busiest triggers, confirm that important workflows are actually firing, and jump straight to a trigger’s run history.


Opening the Triggers View

  1. Navigate to Automations in the sidebar.

  2. Select the Triggers tab at the top of the page.

Triggers View

The automation group you have selected in the left sidebar carries over between the Automations and Triggers tabs, so switching tabs keeps you in the same group.

ℹ️ NOTE: The Triggers view lists real triggers only. An automation with no triggers — including the automations Level creates for ad-hoc script runs — runs only when you add devices manually, so it has nothing to show here. It still appears on the Automations tab with a Manual status.


Columns

Column

What it shows

Trigger

The trigger type and its icon, plus the custom Trigger name if one was set in the trigger’s Additional options. Disabled triggers appear dimmed.

Automation

The automation the trigger belongs to. Click the name to open that automation.

Triggered events

How many runs this trigger has started, all time.

Last triggered event

When this trigger most recently started a run.

Status

Active or Disabled, followed by a preview of the trigger’s conditions when it has any.

Sort by Trigger, Automation, Triggered events, or Last triggered event by clicking the column header. Columns can be shown or hidden using the Columns button in the top right.

💡 TIP: Sort by Triggered events to find the triggers doing the most work, or by Last triggered event to surface triggers that are active but haven’t fired in a long time — usually a sign the conditions no longer match any device.


Finding a Trigger

  • Search — matches both trigger names and automation names, so searching for an automation lists all of its triggers.

  • FiltersTrigger type filters the list to one or more types (Scheduled, Tag applied, Device enters group, Webhook, and so on). Each type shows how many triggers match.

  • Groups — selecting an automation group in the left sidebar narrows the list to triggers on automations in that group and its subgroups. The New automations, Archived automations, and Recent views work the same way here as on the Automations tab.

ℹ️ NOTE: You see triggers on the automations your role has access to. Admins see every trigger in the organization. See Workspace → Permissions for details.


Trigger Details

Click a trigger name to open its details panel on the right.

Trigger Details

The panel has two tabs:

  • Overview — the trigger’s configuration: type, category, and the specific thing it watches (the group, tag, monitor, webhook, or custom field), plus its Conditions. A trigger with no conditions shows All devices. Below that, Recent devices lists the devices that most recently ran through the trigger; click the arrow on a device to open the full run detail.

  • History — every run this trigger has started, newest first, with the device, status, and start time. Click the arrow on a row to open that run’s detail.

Two controls sit in the panel header:

  • The toggle switch enables or disables the trigger without leaving the Triggers view. Disabling stops the trigger from firing again; runs already in progress are unaffected.

  • Run trigger now appears on hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly triggers. It fires the trigger immediately against all currently matching devices instead of waiting for the next scheduled time.

Each row also has actions available from the row menu:

  • Edit — opens the automation in edit mode with that trigger’s configuration open.

  • History — opens the details panel directly on the History tab.


FAQ

  • What counts as a triggered event? Each run the trigger starts on a device. One firing of a scheduled trigger that matches 20 devices counts as 20 triggered events, because it started 20 runs.

  • Why isn’t my manual-only automation listed? Manual isn’t a trigger type — an automation you run by adding devices yourself has no trigger record, so it has no row in the Triggers view. Look for it on the Automations tab with a Manual status.

  • Can I edit a trigger’s configuration from here? Use the Edit row action, which opens the automation in edit mode with that trigger open. Enabling and disabling can be done directly from the details panel.

  • Can I enable or disable several triggers at once? No — the Triggers view has no multi-select. Toggle each trigger from its details panel, or open the automation and toggle its triggers in the pipeline.

  • A trigger shows as Active but has never fired. Why? Check its conditions in the Status column or the Overview tab. A condition that no device matches means the trigger fires but pulls in nothing. See Trigger Conditions.

  • Where do I create a trigger? Triggers are added inside an automation. Open the automation, click Edit, then add a trigger in the trigger area. See Automations Overview.
