Watch files, rows, or pages

1. Open Triggers, click Create, and scroll to SharePoint, Database (row inserted), and Web Monitor. Choose the source you want to watch.

Click Create and look for SharePoint Trigger.

5. Describe the change you care about under Goal. This field is optional. Review Filter noise with the meaningful-change judge, then click Create Monitor. Look for your monitor in the trigger list.

Good to know

• SharePoint triggers start on file creation. The folder is optional, but you need a connected site to watch its files.
• SharePoint file-created triggers watch each site’s default document library. Choosing the entire site does not add its other libraries.
• Database triggers watch inserts into the table you explicitly select. Inserts made outside Athena count too. The inserted row is passed to the AOP.
• Web Monitor is Beta. You can list up to 200 URLs. It checks on a schedule and starts a run only when a meaningful change is detected. The change diff is provided as event context.
