Update Trigger Record

Patch the record that started the automation. Use it to set a status, stamp a timestamp, or transform values on the triggering record. Add it from Add Condition, Record or Action → Action → Update Trigger Record.

note

Update Trigger Record is available only on a Record event trigger in the Before phase. It is disabled for the After phase and for Schedule and On demand triggers.

Configuration​

The target collection and the Update operation are fixed — they come from the trigger. You only configure the Fields mapping: map a value to each field you want to change on the trigger record. The value control matches the field type, and the + picker inserts a {{alias.field}} token.

Example​

Trigger: Record event — Created · Before · Orders (alias: order)

Action: Update Trigger Record
status = "received"
receivedAt = {{now}}
