Custom object added to a list

The Custom object added to a list trigger starts an automation whenever a custom object record is placed into a list. Use this trigger to kick off workflows scoped to that record the moment it's categorized or grouped.

This trigger operates at the custom object scope, making all fields on the record available to downstream steps.

Trigger scope

This trigger operates at the custom object scope. Custom object record fields are available downstream. Use lookup steps to bring account or company context into the workflow if needed.

How it works

  1. A custom object record is added to a list, either manually or via another automation step.
  2. The custom object record is brought into scope.
  3. All fields on the record become available as dynamic content.
  4. Downstream steps execute using the record data.

Available data

Additional fields depend on how the custom object type is configured in your account.
