Custom Triggers  

    Custom Triggers enable you to customize automatic workflows for requests, projects, changes, tasks, notes, notifications, approval level, and approval.

    This feature helps automate several processes, such as setting up multiple approval stages, sending customized email notifications, creating a new request based on resources field information, and setting up integration with third-party applications.
