In a flow
“When a server event starts, the steps wired after it run.”
Ping the Events role: 'Movie night is starting!'
What it does
A scheduled event goes live. It starts a flow, and gives the steps after it values about what happened. It gives 5 values later steps can use. Find it under Starts when in the palette.
When to use it
Use it to start a flow when a server event starts.
When not to
If the flow should start from a click or a command instead, pick that trigger: a flow has exactly one.
