The transition type controls how a transition is triggered.

  • Manual - A button is shown on the case page depending on the precondition. Clicking the button triggers the transition.
  • Event - When a new event is appended to a case the precondition is evaluated. If it matches, the transition is triggered.
  • Automatic - The precondition is checked periodically and if it matches, the transition will be triggered. Use this if the transition depends on time, e.g. "after 14 days, go to the next state".
  • API - No button is shown. The transition can only be triggered via API call.
