How do I configure workflow triggers to run on specific GitHub events?▼

Workflow triggers use combinators like `and` and `or` alongside operators to filter trigger events, allowing you to define complex rules such as excluding draft PRs or targeting specific branches before execution.

Can I set up a cron schedule for recurring automated workflows?▼

Manual triggers are configured by integrating workflows with slash commands, enabling on-demand execution of your automated processes directly through user input.

How do I automatically trigger a code review workflow only for non-draft PRs?▼

To automatically trigger a code review for non-draft PRs, configure conditional logic in your triggers array using combinators to filter out draft pull requests and target specific branches like `develop`.

Does this workflow triggers reference support manual execution via slash commands?▼

Use this reference when you need precise control over automated workflow execution based on repository events, scheduled cron intervals, or conditional logic filtering, ensuring processes run only under specific conditions.
