Trigger workflows when records enter a specific view in NocoDB.

This NocoDB trigger starts a workflow when a record enters a specified view after a create or an update. The workflow context gets the record data. The filters of the view decide which records start the workflow.

The trigger fires only when a record that **was not previously part of the view** enters the view because of a create or update action.

**Additional options**

| To monitor                     | Use the trigger node                                                 |
| ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| All records created in a table | [Record created](/docs/workflows/nodes/trigger-nodes/record-created) |
| All records updated in a table | [Record updated](/docs/workflows/nodes/trigger-nodes/record-updated) |

### How it works

* The trigger fires after a record is created or updated.
* The view filters decide which records start the workflow.

### Use cases

* Send notifications when records meet specific criteria
* Update related records automatically from view conditions
* Generate reports for records that enter a view

## Availability

* Available on NocoDB Cloud (all plans) and licensed on-premise deployments.
