Trigger

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.
