CertifiedTrigger a Flow based on other Flows’ executions.
Core Plugins and tasks Flow
Trigger a Flow based on other Flows’ executions.
Fires when upstream Flow executions meet preconditions (required) and optional trigger conditions (no Pebble templating). Lets you chain Flows owned by different teams.
Upstream execution outputs are exposed under trigger.outputs; you can also pass inputs to the downstream Flow.
type: io.kestra.plugin.core.trigger.FlowExamples
- Trigger the
transformflow after theextractflow finishes successfully. Theextractflow generates adateoutput that is passed to thetransformflow as an input.

Properties
allowConcurrent Non-dynamicboolean
falseSpecifies whether a trigger is allowed to start a new execution even if a previous run is still in progress.
conditions Non-dynamic
List of conditions in order to limit the flow trigger.
Allow events only between two datetimes.
Compares a rendered date (defaults to {{ trigger.date }}) against optional after and before bounds expressed as ISO-8601 datetimes with zone.
You must provide at least one bound; if both are set the date must fall strictly between them. Missing both bounds triggers an evaluation error.

Condition based on the outputs of an upstream execution.
Renders the provided boolean expression against the upstream execution outputs exposed under trigger.outputs.
If the execution exposes no outputs the condition is false and the expression is skipped. A rendered result of blank, space-only, or literal false is treated as false.
The upstream flow_a must explicitly define its outputs
to be used in the ExecutionOutputs condition.

Otherwise, the downstream flow execution will not to be created. If that happens, go to the Logs tab on the Flow page to investigate the error. ::

trueWhether to reset the evaluation results of preconditions after a first successful evaluation within the given time window
By default, after a successful evaluation of the set of preconditions, the evaluation result is reset. This means the same set of conditions needs to be successfully evaluated again within the same time window to trigger a new execution.
In this setup, to create multiple executions, the same set of conditions must be evaluated to true multiple times within the defined window.
You can disable this by setting this property to false, so that within the same window, each time one of the conditions is satisfied again after a successful evaluation, it will trigger a new execution.
{
"type": "DURATION_WINDOW"
}Define the time window for evaluating preconditions.
You can set the type of timeWindow to one of the following values:
DURATION_WINDOW: this is the defaulttype. It uses a start time (windowAdvance) and end time (window) that advance to the next interval whenever the evaluation time reaches the end time, based on the defined durationwindow. For example, with a 1-day window (the default option:window: PT1D), the preconditions are evaluated during a 24-hour period starting at midnight (i.e., at "00: 00: 00+00: 00") each day. If you setwindowAdvance: PT6H, the window will start at 6 AM each day. If you setwindowAdvance: PT6Hand also override thewindowproperty toPT6H, the window will start at 6 AM and last for 6 hours. In this configuration, the preconditions will be evaluated during the following intervals: 06: 00 to 12: 00, 12: 00 to 18: 00, 18: 00 to 00: 00, and 00: 00 to 06: 00.SLIDING_WINDOW: this option evaluates preconditions over a fixed timewindowbut always goes backward from the current time. For example, a sliding window of 1 hour (window: PT1H) evaluates executions within the past hour (from one hour ago up to now). It uses a default window of 1 day.DAILY_TIME_DEADLINE: this option declares that preconditions should be met "before a specific time in a day." Using the string propertydeadline, you can configure a daily cutoff for evaluating preconditions. For example,deadline: "09: 00: 00"specifies that preconditions must be met from midnight until 9 AM UTC time each day; otherwise, the flow will not be triggered.DAILY_TIME_WINDOW: this option declares that preconditions should be met "within a specific time range in a day". For example, a window fromstartTime: "06: 00: 00"toendTime: "09: 00: 00"evaluates executions within that interval each day. This option is particularly useful for defining freshness conditions declaratively when building data pipelines that span multiple teams and namespaces. Normally, a failure in any task in your flow will block the entire pipeline, but with this decoupled flow trigger alternative, you can proceed as soon as the data is successfully refreshed within the specified time window.

Use it only for DURATION_WINDOW SLA.
Allow to specify the start time of the window
Eg: you want a window of 6 hours (window=PT6H), by default the check will be done between: 00: 00 and 06: 00, 06: 00 and 12: 00, 12: 00 and 18: 00, and 18: 00 and 00: 00.
If you want to check the window between 03: 00 and 09: 00, 09: 00 and 15: 00, 15: 00 and 21: 00, and 21: 00 and 3: 00, you will have to shift the window of 3 hours by settings windowAdvance: PT3H

By default, only executions in a terminal state or in the PAUSED state will be evaluated.
Any ExecutionStatus-type condition will be evaluated after the list of states. Note that a Flow trigger cannot react to the CREATED state because the Flow trigger reacts to state transitions. The CREATED state is the initial state of an execution and does not represent a state transition.
::alert{type="info"}
The trigger will be evaluated for each state change of matching executions. If a flow has two Pause tasks, the execution will transition from PAUSED to a RUNNING state twice — one for each Pause task. In this case, a Flow trigger listening to a PAUSED state will be evaluated twice.
