Trigger workflow custom event

WorkflowCustomEvents collection allows triggering workflow custom events. Custom events are a ways to insert subscribers into workflows. Multiple custom events can be defined in any workflow. Subscribers can be added individually or as an entire segment, making it flexible and convenient for various needs.

If a single custom event is used in multiple workflows, triggering it may cause inserting a subscriber or segment into multiple workflows.

A business example could be a custom event called „Completing a sale”. We may want such event cause starting several workflows for a subscriber, e.g. workflow called „Post-purchase communication” or „Special offers for customers”.
