Triggers

A Trigger is an event that causes a task you create to run. Once constructed, a task needs to have one or more triggers associated with it in order for it to perform its job. AutoMateā„¢ utilizes Unisyn Software developed TIA (or Trigger Independent Architecture) which means simply that a task does not revolve around a single type of trigger such as a set schedule or a hotkey. Rather, multiple triggers can be assigned to a single task to cause it to launch based on a variety of circumstances.

AutoMateā„¢ 4 offers a wide variety of triggers that will allow you to vary the times and events that will cause a given task that you construct to fire (or launch). They are:
