Available Trigger Types
First day
Runs on someone’s first day, once they’ve joined Slack.
Manual enrollment
Enroll people from the dashboard or via the API.
On a schedule
Runs on a recurring schedule for a set of people.
Work anniversary
Runs around people’s work anniversaries.
Cohort starts
Runs once when a cohort opens, in the cohort’s timezone.
Person joins cohort
Runs for each person at the cohort start, in their own timezone.
The two cohort triggers appear once Cohorts is enabled for
your workspace - it’s rolling out gradually.
Two more ways people enter a track
These aren’t trigger types you pick, so they don’t appear in the trigger picker. They work alongside whichever trigger the track already has:- Self-enrolled: turn on self-join and people can add themselves. See Self-join tracks.
- Added by another track: an “add to track” step in one track enrolls people into another, so a track can hand off to a follow-up.
Advanced Filtering
Every trigger offers advanced filtering options to ensure your tracks reach the right people (for a Cohort track, filters apply to its “For each person” run mode):- Filter by Group/Department: Target specific organizational units
- Filter by Country or Work Location: Target people by where they are
- Filter by Manager Status: Differentiate between managers and individual contributors
