Triggers
There are two types of automation triggers that can be configured in automation stitches: static and dynamic.
Static automation triggers are included in FortiOS by default. They require only a name, description, and one setting. Static automation triggers can be edited, but they cannot be deleted.
Dynamic automation triggers require multiple settings to be configured. Dynamic automation triggers can be created by clicking the Create New button on the Trigger tab, or clicking Create within the Create Automation Stitch page.
The following table outlines the available static triggers.
