> ### 6.10 Using Triggers

> In Interstage BPM, Triggers either start processes or make choices on activities in response to Data Event (XML) files being added to a particular directory by a data source external to Interstage BPM. Triggers also map data from the Data Event files to user-defined attributes (UDAs) in the process in which they are defined.

> Note The Trigger functionality is flexible enough so that you can map STRING-type data from the external database to an Integer-type UDA as long as the STRING-type data consists only of numerals.
