Is there an API to create Automation Flows programmatically (instead of using the Designer)?

Hi everyone,

I’m exploring deeper automation with Triggre and I had a question regarding how Automation Flows are created.

I understand that when you create an Automation Flow in the Designer with a Web API trigger, Triggre generates a public endpoint that can be called from external systems. That part is clear.

However, in my use case, we want to create new automation flows programmatically, instead of manually building them through the Triggre Designer UI.

Specifically:

  • Is there any API documentation for creating automation flows or flow parts using REST/Web API?

  • Can we define a new Automation Flow, specify its trigger, parameters, and logic via API, and then generate its public endpoint automatically?

  • Or is flow creation strictly limited to the Visual Designer?

Our goal is to dynamically generate workflows from our external system based on configuration, rather than manually setting them up inside the Triggre dashboard.

If this is currently not possible, is it on the roadmap, or is there any recommended workaround (e.g., a generic automation flow that can route based on passed parameters)?

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi @Theo_de_Groot,

This is possible, at least in theory. It would mean using our internal Designer API.

My colleague @Alex will get in contact with you to check what we can do. Given this involves using internal documentation, there are some things to cover for legal purposes, such as an NDA.
