Automation Events Parameters

Reference for event_params accepted by each automation event

Events Reference

Each automation is triggered by exactly one event. The event_id field selects the event type, and event_params carries the configuration for that event. Some events require no params.

Loop detection: The automation system rejects configurations that would create infinite loops (e.g., triggering card_created to create_card in the same pipe, or all_children_in_phase to an action that feeds cards back into the same trigger condition). If you receive a loop-related error, use a different target pipe (action_repo_id) or reconfigure the action to avoid the cycle.

card_moved — triggers when a card moves into a specific phase

Accepted actions: move_single_card, move_parent_card, update_card_field, create_card, create_connected_card, send_email_template, distribute_assignments, send_http_request, run_a_formula, generate_with_ai, apply_sla_rules, send_a_task

event_params:

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
to_phase_idstringYesID of the destination phase that should trigger the automation. The automation only fires when a card moves into this specific phase.

How to get to_phase_id: See Get Resource IDs → Phase ID.

Mutation example:

mutation {
  createAutomation(
    input: {
      name: "Move card when it arrives at phase"
      action_id: "move_single_card"
      event_id: "card_moved"
      event_repo_id: "306422123"
      action_repo_id: "306422123"
      event_params: { to_phase_id: "338796240" }
      action_params: { to_phase_id: "338796241" }
    }
  ) {
    automation {
      id
      name
      action_id
      event_id
    }
    error_details {
      object_name
      object_key
      messages
    }
  }
}

field_updated — triggers when one or more specific fields are updated on a card

event_params:

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
triggerFieldIdsarray of stringsYesInternal IDs of the fields that should trigger the automation when updated. The automation fires when any of the listed fields changes.

How to get field internal IDs:

{
  pipe(id: "PIPE_ID") {
    start_form_fields {
      label
      internal_id
    }
    phases {
      fields {
        label

scheduler — triggers on a recurring schedule (no card context)

Accepted actions: move_multiple_cards, schedule_create_card
