Events

Events can be used to invoke your Forge app without an UI interaction, for example:

• Jira, Confluence, Compass, Bitbucket,
  Life cycle, and Data security policy events are generated by activity by users or background processes. Your app can subscribe to one or more of these events via the manifest.yml file using the trigger module.
• Scheduled trigger events invoke your app periodically at a frequency you specify.
• Web trigger events are incoming HTTP requests. You can supply these web trigger URLs to invoke your app from a third-party app.
