OR Status Trigger
“When a column matches any of these values”
Fire one automation when a status matches any of up to 3 values. No more duplicate automations.
Demo
Use Cases
Fire when a task is 'Blocked', 'On Hold', or 'Cancelled' — one automation instead of three
Capture all negative sales outcomes ('Lost', 'Disqualified', 'Churned') in a single workflow
Group urgent support statuses ('Urgent', 'Critical', 'P1') for a single escalation path
Real-World Example
A project manager needs to be notified when tasks hit any problem state. Instead of creating separate automations for 'Blocked', 'On Hold', and 'Needs Review', set up one OR Status Trigger that fires for all three and sends a single Slack notification.
