Hey! I have data being populated into Xano via a Xano API. This then syncs into Noloco. I’d like to perform some updates on the data when it’s received in Noloco, but new records synced into Noloco do not trigger workflows. So my question is; is there anyway to trigger workflows without manual user intervention?

One suggestion would be to trigger an ‘update’ on the record at some point (maybe using Make’s new record trigger) that would then trigger the workflow

Triggering workflows when the records was created in the data source is certainly something we would like to support - there are some complications in determining exactly when a record is “created” but it’s not something we’re against for sure

OK that’s great, thank Darragh!
