Rocket.Chat Zapier actions and triggers
The Rocket.Chat Zapier app facilitates automated workflows by connecting specific events inside Rocket.Chat with actions in other applications. These connections are defined by a two-part framework:
Triggers: A trigger is an event that starts a workflow. For example, when an event occurs in Rocket.Chat, Zapier captures it and passes the data to the connected app.
Actions: An action is a task performed in response to a trigger. Zapier uses the event data to carry out a defined step either in Rocket.Chat or in another connected service. Essentially, a trigger initiates a process, and an action completes it. The following tables list all available triggers and actions for the Rocket.Chat Zapier app.
