Trigger Cascade
Learn how trigger cascades work when multiple trigger items are listed one after another, causing them to trigger sequentially in order.
How It Works
A trigger cascade occurs when multiple trigger items are listed one after another in a checklist. When all checkbox items within the same hierarchical (nested) level are completed, the trigger items will fire sequentially in the order they appear.
Each trigger item in the cascade will execute its action one after another, creating a chain of automated actions. This allows you to create complex workflows where multiple actions happen in a specific sequence.
You can reset any of these items by clicking the per item context menu and re-selecting the trigger type.

Summary
Trigger cascades are a powerful feature in Nesty that enable sequential automation. When you list multiple trigger items consecutively, they will execute in order once all prerequisite checkbox items are completed. This demonstration shows a cascade with a blocker, followed by a notify trigger, and then a change assignee trigger.
Key Features Demonstrated:
- How to set up multiple trigger items in sequence
- The sequential execution of triggers in a cascade
- How different trigger types work together (blocker, notify, change assignee)
- The visual indicators and animations that show each trigger firing
- How cascades create complex automated workflows
Trigger cascades are essential for creating sophisticated workflows where multiple automated actions need to happen in a specific order, enabling you to build comprehensive automation chains that streamline your Jira project management.
Usage
To create a trigger cascade, simply add multiple trigger items one after another in your checklist. They will execute sequentially in the order they appear once all checkbox items at the same hierarchical level are completed. This allows you to chain together different types of triggers (blockers, notifications, assignee changes, attachments, etc.) to create complex automated workflows.
